Notre Dame improved their secondary for the future last week with the commitment of Philip Riley, a 4-star prospect. The Irish improved their secondary for the immediate future on Monday by landing NC State graduate transfer Nick McCloud.
McCloud will compete for playing time from day one at Notre Dame after starting 21 games at NC State over the last three years. McCloud was even named a captain in 2019 before he missed most of the season due to a knee injury he suffered in the season opener against ECU. He played in just one game in 2019, resulting in a medical redshirt.
