On Saturday, Notre Dame saw three offensive players enter the transfer portal. In the last 24 hours, the Irish have seen a pair of former 4-star defensive backs reportedly enter the transfer portal as well. Last night it was CB Isaiah Rutherford. This afternoon safety Houston Griffith has reportedly joined him in seeking a transfer.
Rutherford was one of Notre Dame’s top signees in 2019 and one of the highest-rated corners to sign under Brian Kelly, but in two seasons, he wasn’t able to crack the rotation even with injuries and plenty of opportunities for playing time.
