Tuihalamaka Heads to Transfer Portal | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame’s Junior Tuihalamaka, a standout defensive player with four years of experience, is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal — but not before a major legal twist: a Louisiana judge granted him and 15 other 2022 recruits a restraining order allowing them to return to college football this season. Tuihalamaka, who helped Notre Dame reach the national championship in 2024 and earned Polynesian College Football Player of the Year watchlist honors, has been a consistent contributor with solid stats across his tenure. Now, with eligibility cleared, fans are watching closely to see where he lands next — and how this rare legal move reshapes the transfer landscape.
