Notre Dame quarterback Steve Angeli is reportedly entering the transfer portal, as per CBS Sports. Angeli, who served as a backup during the 2024 season and appeared in 11 games, is expected to explore opportunities away from Notre Dame. He completed 24 of 36 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns during his time with the Irish and has two seasons of eligibility left. Despite his contributions, Angeli is now set to depart, paving the way for potential starters CJ Carr or Kenny Minchey in the upcoming season.
Angeli notably played a role in Notre Dame's journey to the national championship game in 2024, including a significant appearance in the Orange Bowl semifinal win over Penn State. His departure means the Irish will rely on incoming four-star recruits to fill the quarterback position, with Minchey and Carr poised to step up to the challenge. Minchey, a standout from the 2023 recruiting class, was ranked as the 12th pro-style quarterback in the nation, while Carr, hailing from the 2024 class, was the top player in Michigan and ranked fourth in the pro-style QB category.
