Podcast: Locked On Irish - Daily Podcast On Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football & Basketball
Published On: Wed Jan 07 2026
Description: Notre Dame football hosted a pivotal slate of transfer portal visitors as pressure continues to build on the Irish to close on impact additions. Tyler Wojciak breaks down what he’s hearing from a critical visit day featuring multiple defensive line targets, why closing on a defensive tackle is now non-negotiable, and which players Notre Dame is still chasing despite not having them on campus yet. Tyler also examines emerging portal options at wide receiver and edge rusher before reacting to former Notre Dame quarterback Kenny Minchey finding a new home in the SEC and running through several late portal developments that continue to reshape Notre Dame’s offseason. (0:00) - Intro(2:48) - Portal Visits Breakdown(13:05) - New DL & WR Targets(25:46) - Minchey Drama & Other Updates Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciakFollow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrishFollow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=enSubscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
