The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is back on campus, and that includes the 20 new freshmen (7 more were early enrollees). The two most exciting things about “show up day” are:
- That they show up.
- What jersey number they are assigned.
Since we now have #1 checked off of the box, we move on to #2... the freshmen jersey numbers (19 of which share a number with a current Irish player):
- #3 Houston Griffith CB
- #4 Kevin Austin WR
- #7 Derrik Allen S
- #10 Tariq Bracy CB
- #12 D.J. Brown CB
- #13 Paul Moala S
- #13 Lawrence Keys III WR

So there you have it. If the college football offseason is just a series of placemarkers set in place until the first game... this is a big deal. The guys are there, they all have their numbers and their positions, and they will be getting to work very soon.
LETS GO!!!!
