With Monday’s addition of CB Nick McCloud from NC State, Notre Dame now has three graduate transfers on its roster for the 2020 season, and the Irish could still be in the market for a fourth. The additions have the potential to shape the roster more so than graduate-transfers ever have for Notre Dame.
Notre Dame hasn’t had the best of luck with graduate transfers over the years. Cody Riggs played well in 2014 for the Irish, but later grad-transfers like Cameron Smith and Freddy Canteen never made much of a mark even when it looked like they might in 2017 when both were listed as starters for Georgia’s visit to South Bend.
