Former Notre Dame quarterback target has entered the transfer portal

[ASFN Admin]

During the 2025 recruiting cycle, Notre Dame football was looking to land quarterback Bear Bachmeier, but he ultimately landed at Stanford.

There has been a major change in the Cardinal program, with former star quarterback Andrew Luck joining the team as its general manager, and quickly dismissing head coach Troy Taylor and bringing in interim Frank Reich. It was a move that clearly made waves inside the program, which has seen multiple transfers with Bachmeier now being one of them. He did not see the field this past fall and took a redshirt.

With Steve Angeli entered the portal himself, Notre Dame now is fairly thin at the position, and potentially bringing in another quarterback would make sense. Could the Irish go after Bachmeier again? That’s the question, but if I had to guess, head coach Marcus Freeman will make a play for a different quarterback with more experience.

Either way, it will be interesting to see where Bachmeier lands next.
