Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman holds no grudge against Steve Angeli
Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman holds no grudge against Steve Angeli Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman holds no grudge against former QB Steve Angeli
When Notre Dame begins its quest to return to the College Football Playoff in the season opener at Miami (FL) Labor Day weekend, either redshirt freshman CJ Carr or redshirt sophomore Kenny Minchey will be taking the first snap.
Steve Angeli saw the writing on the wall this past spring, which is why he decided to become a graduate transfer at Syracuse. And that was totally fine with Marcus Freeman.
The Fighting Irish head coach told local media Thursday that he supports Angeli because it was the right decision for the former backup.'Nothing is guaranteed,' Freeman said, 'but Steve made the decision to transfer where there was probably a better opportunity for him to be the starter in the fall. There was a more clear picture. That's why he made that decision. He's graduated, and there's no hard feelings.'
Angeli led Notre Dame to a Sun Bowl win over Oregon State to conclude the 2023 season, and he also led a drive that resulted in a key field goal in relief of Riley Leonard in the team's Orange Bowl win over Penn State this past January.
In April's Blue-Gold game, Angeli went 8-of-11 passing for 108 yards and was sacked once. He entered the transfer portal thereafter and chose Syracuse, which travels to South Bend on November 22. Minchey and Carr will now compete for the starting job.
Angeli, who has two remaining years of eligibility, could face the Irish twice. In addition to the tilt this fall, the Irish visit the JMA Wireless Dome in 2026, but the date of that matchup has yet to be determined.

Oregon State blasts four home runs in support of freshman Dax Whitney and the Beavers defeat TCU 7-2
CORVALLIS, Ore. — Wilson Weber started Oregon State's four-homer attack with a three-run home run in the first inning, Dax Whitney struck out 12 batters and Oregon State went on to defeat TCU 7-2 on Saturday to stay alive in the Corvallis Regional. After Weber's home run, the Beavers got a solo shot from Trent Caraway leading off the second inning. In the third inning, AJ Singer led off with a home run and Tyce Peterson added a two-out, two-run blast. Whitney (6-3) pitched six innings, allowing four hits and two runs. The freshman's 12 strikeouts were a season high and the fourth time he reached double digits. Nelson Keljo pitched the final three innings for his second save this season for the Beavers.
