(Notre Dame) –Notre Dame continued its run in the transfer portal on Tuesday, adding much needed help at defensive tackle and wide receiver.

The afternoon blitz started with the addition of defensive tackle Francis Brewu of Pitt. He was a starter for the Panthers as a sophomore this past season and had 35 tackles, 7 tackles for loss and one sack. He played in 12 games as a true freshman. He will have two years of eligibility remaining. Brewu is 6-2, 280 pounds.

Notre Dame ended Tuesday by adding Purdue kicker Spencer Porath, who was 15-17 on field goals last season with a long of 53, and a perfect 24-24 on extra points.

In between those two additions, it was announced that Notre Dame landed wide receiver Mylan Graham from Ohio State. Graham is a former 5-star wide receiver out of Fort Wayne. He will have 3 years of eligibility after spending his first two years studying in a loaded Buckeye wide receiver room. He had 6 catches for 93 yards in 2025.

Graham is the 2nd wide receiver from Ohio State to come to Notre Dame in the last two days after the Irish landed Quincy Porter Monday.

Porter has four seasons of eligibility, after starring at Bergen Catholic in New Jersey. A year ago, he was considered to be the #2 wide receiver coming out of high school. He redshirted last season after making four catches for 59 yards in limited action.  The 6-4, 210-pound receiver has a build and game similar to Malachi Fields, who just wrapped up his Irish career. Porter’s speed and route running ability is highly-regarded and he could step into the starting lineup from day one.

After a quiet start to portal season, Notre Dame added Porter, edge rusher Keon Keeley and cornerbacks D.J. McKinney and Jaylen Sanders on Monday, the first day of Notre Dame’s spring semester.

Keeley was a commit to Notre Dame in 2023, before flipping at the last-minute to Alabama. In 2025. Keeley appeared in 12 games and finished the season with 15 total tackles, three sacks, three tackles for loss, one quarterback hurry, one pass breakup, and a blocked punt. Two of those sacks came at key moments…one to end the game against South Carolina and the other against Oklahoma in the College Football Playoffs.  Keeley is expected to join Boubacar Traore and Bryce Young at end, although he did gain some interior line experience with the Crimson Tide.

McKinney is a fifth-year senior who played cornerback, nickel and safety during his Colorado career. He was an honorable mention all-Big 12 player in 2024, but suffered from injuries last year. He’ll be expected to be one of the leading contenders for the nickel spot at Notre Dame.

Sanders comes from Michigan and brings three years of eligibility. As a freshman, he played over 300 snaps for the Wolverines, with 27 tackles and one pass breakup.  The 6-1, 193-pound native of Kilgore, Texas could be a backup to All-America corner Leonard Moore next season.

The portal remains open until January 16.
