Notre Dame lands Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman — an Atlantic Coast Conference record-setting QB — via the transfer portal. Can he return the Fighting Irish to greatness?
Hartman was asked prior to his final regular-season home game at Wake Forest about returning for a sixth year, and his response was simple. Absolutely not. Wake Forest needed a new challenge. He needed a new challenge. He’s going to get it.
He’s the kind of quarterback that offensive coordinator Tommy Rees needs. The kind of quarterback that he has to have. The kind of quarterback that won’t allow Notre Dame to do what it did this season at the position in home losses to Marshall and Stanford. An upgrade at quarterback likely means an upgrade at the wide receiver position. That group will be better next season because the quarterback will be better. Hartman can make all the throws. He’ll find all the guys.
Hartman will stand in the pocket even as it’s about to crumble and wait for an open receiver, then usually find him. He closed his five-year career with Wake Forest having thrown for 12,967 yards and those 110 touchdowns. He completed 59.1% of his passes. He was a lot of what Pyne wasn’t in his first season a starter. Prior to the bowl game, Hartman threw for 3,421 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. He completed 63% of his passes and averaged 311.0 yards per game.
All that matters in 2023 is that Hartman does what the Irish offense — the Irish program — needs him to do. Get that group of 11 moving in the right direction down the field with chunk plays. With big plays. With game-turning plays and drives and throws. Get back to double-digit sea wins. Get to a big-time bowl.
