Sam Hartman recently revealed Alabama football was among the teams, who reached out to him when he was in the transfer portal. 

Hartman entered the transfer portal after multiple seasons at Wake Forest. He discussed the teams, who reached out to him when he was in the portal during an interview on the Dan Patrick Show when he was asked about what others teams were recruiting him. 

“There was quite a few. I mean you can think of any college that needed a quarterback or was in need was reaching out,” said Hartman. “Florida was one. Auburn was another one. At the time, there was a little bit of Alabama. It was all strategic in my way of just knowing that it came down to the offense in place here at Notre Dame.”

The Tide ultimately added Tyler Buchner to their roster after he transferred from Notre Dame.
