Notre Dame's wide receiver lineup is set for a shake-up in 2026, as the Fighting Irish have successfully brought in some fresh talent from Ohio State. Mylan Graham and Quincy Porter are making the move from Columbus to South Bend via the transfer portal, bolstering a WR room that needed depth.
While Graham and Porter didn't see much action at Ohio State in 2025, largely due to the dominance of Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, they're now poised for bigger roles. With Jereimiyah Love, Notre Dame's offensive powerhouse for the past two seasons, heading to the NFL, quarterback CJ Carr is eager to revitalize the passing game. These new additions could be the key to achieving that goal.
Mylan Graham is particularly enthusiastic about his new beginning at Notre Dame. Having enjoyed his time with coach Brian Hartline at Ohio State, Graham reconsidered his position when Hartline moved to USF. This led him to enter the transfer portal, ultimately finding a new home under head coach Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame.
As spring practices approach, Graham is focused on his development. "My personal goal is to get way stronger," he shared during a media session. "I want to be a more physical receiver with 50-50 balls and contested catches."
Graham's awareness of where he needs to grow is a promising sign for Notre Dame fans. With the offense transitioning from Love's ground game, Graham has a prime opportunity to establish himself as a key player for the Fighting Irish.
