Notre Dame football kicker Spencer Porath ready for Purdue return
Kicker Spencer Porath quietly enrolled at Notre Dame for the spring semester. He now returns to the place he left, Purdue, this weekend.
South Bend — Notre Dame kicker Spencer Porath is returning to Ross-Ade Stadium for the first time since transferring from Purdue, despite being the opponent's kicker. Special teams coordinator Marty Biagi emphasized the importance of treating the 2024 transfer as a faceless opponent, drawing parallels with Riley Leonard's return from Duke.
Porath's special teams director, Joey Ramaeker, assists in helping him find commonalities between opponents. In 2025, Arkansas transfer tight end Ty Washington faced the Demon Deacons on Notre Dame's Senior Day, but the opposing fans deserted the stadium. Porath transferred voluntarily without notifying Purdue, with his last visit expressing excitement about returning.
After a missed field goal against Michigan State, Porath remained focused and confident, stating he didn't need to see the tablet analysis of his error.
