Notre Dame WR Quincy Porter to undergo season-ending surgery
Despite just four catches for 59 yards in 2025, Quincy Porter was projected to give Notre Dame a big-bodied target at the boundary receiver spot.
Notre Dame football wide receiver Quincy Porter’s 2026 season has come to an end before it even started due to a third surgery in less than nine months. The Ohio State transfer, who missed all of spring practice after enrolling in January, had been making progress following a cleanup procedure on August 21. He was working individual drills ahead of a crucial game against Purdue.
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman had expressed optimism about Porter’s recovery, stating that he was "getting closer" to being game-ready. However, a recent setback has forced the medical staff to opt for season-ending surgery to repair his left patellar tendon. Porter, a second-year player, had been projected to be a valuable big-bodied target at the boundary receiver spot, but his slow-healing knee injury has hindered his development.
In his absence, third-year wideout Micah Gilbert has taken on the boundary receiver role and is leading the team with 334 receiving yards.
