WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — According to ESPN, Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman is in the transfer portal and expected to land at Notre Dame. The graduate transfer has one year of eligibility remaining.
Hartman spent 5 seasons at Wake Forest and set the ACC record for touchdown passes during his career, with 110. He broke the record in Wake Forest's win against Missouri in the Gasparilla Bowl.
Hartman also ranks second in ACC history with 12,967 career passing yards, right behind Philip Rivers.
Hartman started 45 games for the Demon Deacons. He would leave with a 27-18 record.
