The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are still fresh off of being snubbed for a spot in the College Football Playoff this season.
Not having Notre Dame in the field brought on quite a few complaints towards the NCAA. However, nothing can be changed and the Fighting Irish opted to pass on their bowl game invite.
Marcus Freeman and company have seen the season come to an end. They also saw one of their quarterbacks enter the transfer portal.

Kenny Minchey, a former four-star quarterback from the 2023 recruiting class, decided to enter the portal. He will be looking to land in a place where he can be the starting signal caller and have a chance to show what he's capable of producing on the field.

According to 247 Sports, Minchey is ranked as a four-star transfer portal target. He is currently ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in the portal and the No. 4 overall player.
Where could Minchey end up landing in the portal? There are a couple of teams that have been suggested for the talented young quarterback.
Joe Cox of College Football HQ on SI has suggested both the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Cincinnati Bearcats as possible options.
"Texas Tech and Cincinnati are two intriguing options for Minchey," Cox wrote. "Given the explosive season that the Red Raiders had, a spot replacing Behren Morton could be a nice landing spot. Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby is rumored to be mulling over his own portal dive, and that could open things up for Minchey with the Bearcats."
In his three years at Notre Dame, Minchey played very sparingly. He ended up completing 79.3 percent of his total passes for 212 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. Minchey also ran for 96 yards and two touchdowns.

Any team needing a quarterback should look into him as an option. He has legitimate potential to become a special quarterback if given the opportunity.
While things didn't work out with the Fighting Irish, Minchey still has time to turn his career around. He'll need to choose the right destination, but the potential is there for him to be a big name next season.
