Sam Hartman's New Team Announced

Quarterback Finds a New Home

After much speculation, Sam Hartman has finally signed with a new team. The former Wake Forest quarterback will be joining the Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the 2023 season, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to ESPN.

Hartman entered the transfer portal in December after announcing he was leaving Wake Forest. He was one of the most sought-after quarterbacks in the portal, due to his success at Wake Forest and his remaining eligibility.

Hartman was a three-year starter for the Demon Deacons, throwing for over 10,000 yards and 78 touchdowns. He led Wake Forest to their first ACC Championship Game appearance in program history in 2021.
Notre Dame will be looking for him to replace Drew Pyne, who transferred to Arizona State.

• Production: Hartman twice led the ACC in passing touchdowns and finished his Wake Forest career with 81 touchdown passes, second-most in school history.
• Leadership: Hartman helped Wake Forest to the program's first ACC Championship Game appearance. He was a team captain twice and was named the ACC's Most Outstanding Player in 2021.
