The Notre Dame Fighting Irish enter the offseason after falling short of the national championship and finishing the year with a 14-2 record.

Notre Dame went into the national title game against Ohio State on a 13-game win streak but ultimately met their match.

After a 34-23 loss to the Buckeyes, Notre Dame's players had a five-day window to enter the transfer portal.

On Thursday, offensive lineman Ty Chan entered the transfer portal after two years with the program, per Pete Nakos at On3.

While he didn't play a large role in the Fighting Irish's lineup, he marks the fourth offensive lineman the team has lost in the 2025 transfer portal cycle.
