Notre Dame Football: The growing importance of graduate transfers for the Irish

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish added an unprecedented number of graduate transfers to its roster this year with the additions of Bennett Skowronek, Trevor Speights, Nick McCloud, and Isaiah Pryor. The Irish have had mixed results with transfers over the years, and most of the graduate transfers never became major contributors to the program.

That may change quite dramatically this year.

Skowronek was a very reliable and productive player with the Northwestern Wildcats. Isaiah Pryor will be battling Houston Griffith for the safety spot opposite Kyle Hamilton — and even then will likely see a fair amount of time in the rotation.
