Notre Dame’s need to take a transfer at safety wasn’t quite as large as it was at quarterback, but it was pretty darn close. With Brandon Joseph off to the NFL and Peyton Bown flipping, twice, at the 11th hour, the Irish needed an experienced safety from the portal. Just a day after they landed prize quarterback transfer Sam Hartman, they got a safety as well in Oklahoma State transfer Thomas Harper.
Harper comes to Notre Dame with two years of eligibility left after playing in 42 games for Oklahoma State over the last four years.
