Notre Dame QB Anthony Rezac plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Notre Dame quarterback Anthony Rezac plans to enter the transfer portal, On3 has learned. He spent two years with the program.

As a member of the Class of 2024, Rezac was not ranked, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He played his high school football in Omaha (Neb.) Westside. He enrolled at Notre Dame early.

He’ll look elsewhere to continue his collegiate career. Rezac did not appear in any games for the Fighting Irish in 2024 or ’25.

Anthony Rezac enters transfer portal, Notre Dame pivots to 2026

Reznac decided to jump into the portal, especially now the season is over for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish opted out of a bowl game after being snubbed from the College Football Playoff.

AD Pete Bevacqua noted it was a one-off, as far as we know, and it is not necessarily indicative of future years. Plus, Notre Dame has a MOU in next year’s CFP if they are in the top 12, well they’re automatically in.

“It was kind of a full team decision, full consensus decision,” running back Jeremiyah Love said on SportsCenter. “So our captains asked all of the players that they could, you know, what they think about the bowl games and things like that. And we all came to a consensus, or final decision, that we didn’t think that playing in that bowl game would really represent our 2025 football team in the right way. Because we feel like our team was just very special throughout the year, we did a lot of great things, and in that bowl game, a lot of people are going to opt out. A lot of people are just going to not play, or have their own plans … which, rightfully so. They have that right. 

“But we didn’t feel like that team that would go into that bowl game was a great representation of how special this 202  football team was. So we all came to a consensus of, you know, we don’t want to put this team in a bad light because we feel like it was a great team. We’re not saying playing in a bowl game would put us in a bad light, but it just wouldn’t be the best representation of our team. So that ultimately led us to come into that decision.”
