Notre Dame finally got their kicker in the transfer portal and he’s from the Purdue Boilermakers. Spencer Porath, a sophomore from Brownsburg, Indiana, with two years of eligibility remaining, has committed to Notre Dame.

I don’t have much to say about this. Notre Dame was absolutely going to get a kicker out of the portal, but the one name that I heard going into this process was a kid that never jumped in the portal.

Porath had a rocky freshman season, but he really did well last year — and has yet to miss a PAT.

This was one of the biggest transfer portal needs for the Irish, and now the job is done.

Welcome to Notre Dame Spencer!
