The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had a strong season, but Marcus Freeman’s squad came up one game short of its ultimate goal with a loss to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. However, with Freeman extended through 2030, the expectation is that Notre Dame will continue to be a part of the national title conversation. Now, the program will look to add to the Notre Dame football roster and mount another charge in 2025. The Irish have already added 24 signees in the Class of 2025 and are ranked 12th nationally in the 247Sports Composite Rankings for Notre Dame football recruiting. They’ve also added six commitments in the college football transfer portal and are still actively targeting some of the best college football recruits available.

Notre Dame football roster news
With its season ending nearly three weeks after most of the nation has wrapped up, Notre Dame is just beginning to see players on its roster entering the college football transfer portal. Wide receivers Deion Colzie and Jayden Thomas have already declared their intention to leave, as has offensive lineman Sam Pendleton.
Some players will be looking for a fresh start or a better opportunity from an NIL or playing-time perspective, while Freeman will ultimately also have some roster-thinning to do to make room for his 30 newcomers in the Class of 2025. He’s also already begun work on the Class of 2026 and that will also be a focus in the coming months as Notre Dame continues to build towards a future of perennial contention.
The Fighting Irish already have six commitments in the Class of 2026 and are ranked 10th in the 247 Sports Composite Rankings. They’ll look to make even more inroads in that class this weekend when they host a number of the nation’s top prospects for junior day, including four-star running back and top-100 national prospect Jonaz Walton of Georgia.
