Notre Dame’s pursuit of defensive tackle help through the transfer portal continues to take shape, and one of the most important names on the board is now reportedly officially visiting. Wake Forest defensive tackle Mateen Ibirogba has a visit set with Notre Dame, placing the Irish firmly in the mix for a player widely viewed as one of the top defensive tackles available in the portal this cycle.
According to Ibirogba’s representation, he has visits scheduled with Notre Dame, Texas Tech, and Tennessee.
Texas Tech has been considered the program to beat, largely due to its aggressive NIL approach and willingness to invest heavily in transfers rather than build through recruiting.
