Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this whole Will Howard Notre Dame thing. It all started a while back, I was just doing my thing, you know, keeping up with college football news, and I saw this buzz about the transfer portal. It got me thinking, “What’s the big deal?” So, I started digging.
First, I had to figure out who this Will Howard guy was. Turns out, he was a pretty good quarterback at Kansas State, had a killer season in 2023. But the kicker was, he had one year of eligibility left and he was looking to transfer. Then, I came across this Riley Leonard dude who transferred from Duke to Notre Dame. It was like a domino effect, one big name after another moving around.
So, I started following the news more closely, I think it was the end of the fall season. Some Notre Dame players were already saying they wanted out. It’s like a revolving door, players coming and going all the time.
Then, I read something about how there’s no easy way to become a team leader right after transferring. It got me thinking, it’s not just about talent, it’s about fitting in, you know? You gotta earn your spot, build trust with your new teammates. It’s a whole process, not just showing up and playing.
I kept digging, looking up all the Notre Dame players who were leaving. Man, there were quite a few! I was like, “What’s going on there?” It seemed like a big shake-up. Also I found some tags related to this whole thing, like “Howard Riley,” “Howard University,” “BCS National Championship Game.” It was all starting to connect.
Then, the National Championship Game rolls around, and guess what? Two transfer quarterbacks were leading the teams! It hit me, this transfer portal thing is a huge deal. It’s changing the whole game, letting players find new opportunities and shake things up.
So, what did I do? I decided to put all this information together, kind of like a timeline, you know? Here’s what I came up with:
- Late Fall: Some Notre Dame players announce their intention to enter the transfer portal.
- January: News about Will Howard considering transferring, and Riley Leonard already at Notre Dame.
- Mid-January: Discussion about the challenges of becoming a team leader after transferring.
- January 19th: More in-depth articles about the transfer portal’s impact on college football, specifically focusing on quarterbacks.
- National Championship Game: Two transfer quarterbacks play in the game, highlighting the significance of the transfer portal.
