Father Sorin displayed all the traits and then some. True GOAT...Grittiest Of All Time! @NDFootball
#OnThisDay in 1842 Fr. Edward Sorin founded the University of Notre Dame when he and seven companions arrived at the 524 snow-covered acres that the Bishop of Vincennes gave them in the Indiana mission fields.
Thank you, Fr. Sorin, for your dream & vision!

Dudes a ballhawk @alohigilman . That explains it. Swag Surf and Turnover Circuit too. How about @DTranquill willing his way to getting the ball back on the recovery? @NDFootball just wants it more...starving for that Natty.
This is such an incredibly heady play by Alohi Gilman. His football IQ is incredibly high. It impresses me how often he makes plays like this. Watch his right hand.

#TechniqueTuesday - from my basement edition. @D1Zay13 counters back underneath the vicer when he gets high on him and times the tackle up perfectly. Isaiah Pryor is a GREAT special teams player and I’m excited for him to help lead our units in ‘21! #NDFamily ☘️🏈
