Good guy. Wish him luck and success.

Great ND man who did what was asked of him

He was vastly underrated by many on this board
All he did every time he played was play at a very high level. I don't think the coaches ever gave him a fair shot.
100%.

I stand by my previous belief, that he could have gotten us to the playoffs
He's definitely not chopped liver, and would have been a quality starter for us.
Mike Denbrock would have tailored the offense to reflect his throwing skills, and with our having a more serviceable receiving corps compared to last year, he would have done just fine. He can make all of the short and medium range throws with accuracy and timing, with reasonably good zip on the ball, and his long ball is actually decent as well.
I would have pictured him in a similar offense to what we ran in 2021 with Jack Coan, but Angeli being much more mobile, and the offensive line being better (despite our starting a lot of freshmen and sophomores).
I'll also be grateful to Angeli stepping in when Leonard was banged up and unable to take the field for a series or two. He performed, and kept us in the Penn State game.
This is not to take anything away from Riley Leonard, though. The man played his guts out for us in 2024, and got us to the finals. I'll always be grateful for his service as well.
He looked 100x better than Buchner or Pyne

Best of luck to him.
He's graduating, and has 2 years left to play.
He was a great ND back-up QB.
He was right where he wanted to be. Hats off to him.

Wishing him well. He did what was needed when it was needed. The value of that
Cannot be overstated.
I'll be cheering for him, regardless of landing spot, next yr.

Isn’t Allar returning to Penn State?
(no message)
Yes.
(no message)
Even if he goes to Penn State, I'll still root for him
I'll still root for Penn State to lose, though, in a bunch of offensive shootouts.
When does he graduate?
It's important that the kid get his degree at ND. He deserves the 40 years for the time he put in.
End of this semester.
He came in as an early enrollee. Between that extra spring semester along with summer school, he'll have plenty of credits to graduate.
Every news outlet is calling him a grad transfer, so that means he'll have received his degree from ND when he leaves.
Good for him.

Someone will be very lucky to have him. We definitely were.

Is it minchey or Carr? Or does this mean it’s not Angeli.
Best of luck to Angeli. He has done all that was asked of him but they had to pick the best guy for the job. Unfortunately for steve, it wasn’t him.
Pretty much means Angeli is not qb1
Angeli wouldn't be leaving if he was told he was #1.
Freeman is not the type to say "we'll see in the fall" ala Kelly to keep guys around.
Whether Angeli is #2 or #3, makes little difference to him I suspect. He's got his degree and has a great future ahead.
Yep. Same move as Tyler Buchner when it became clear Hartman was QB1. Can't blame either...
...in the current scheme of College Football.
Wish best of luck to Angelli.
I wonder if they move Buchner back to QB as QB4?
Right now, it looks like the following:
QB1 = Carr
QB2 = Minchey
QB3 = Herbert
QB4 = ?
And interesting "back-pocket" option.
Hopefully, it won't become necessary. But in the event that it does (knock on wood...), he would have significant experience in the scheme.
A Great ND man.
He did what was asked and wants playing time.
Praying for the man to thrive.
I'll be cheering for him. Great kid! If Minchey bolts, that will be concerning from a depth
perspective. I wonder if ND brings in another QB from the portal? I have to imagine the coaches have a plan and expected someone to leave.
Re: I'll be cheering for him. Great kid! If Minchey bolts, that will be concerning from a depth
If Carr gets the nod and he's truly as good as everyone says, unless he gets injured, Minchey's career as a QB is over. I can't see him staying at ND knowing that. My belief is that Minchey gets the start. He fits the Denbrock mold and I think it's an easier sell to get Carr to wait his turn than to tell Minchey he's done and go into 2025 without a backup QB.
If the coaches believe it's Carr, they are not going to start Minchey with the thought that Carr is
more likely to accept the back up role. That would be unfair to both, and Freeman is not the guy that would do that. It's also a good way for a coach to fail and lose his own job. If Minchey bolts then so be it. They would have to roll with the younger QBs.
Minchey won't. They will develop a red zone package for him.

Plus now he should get some playing time.

Understandable. He deserves to play.

To emerge in Tennessee...?

He doesn't really fit their offense
Big arm for downfield throws and good athleticism are the traits Tennessee looks for.
Without dissing Angeli, he doesn't have a big arm, and while he isn't as unathletic as perhaps Hartman, I wouldn't give him high marks for athleticism. If he had either or both of those traits, he'd wouldn't be in the portal.
All of the best to Steve. A great ND man.

100% agreed. Wish him nothing but the best.
