Teo wins Butkus

The big guy gets his first award, besides the ARA. Jaylon won the HS one.

He apparently has won the Nagurski also.

We have all talked about how Manti embodies the Notre Dame Spirit and how his being in South Bend was Divine Providence. And it was. How amazing that we will soon be saying the same things about, what appears to be a kindred type spirit in Jaylon, and a young man not afraid to try and fill those very big shoes.

Congratulations to both of these splendid Notre Dame men!

I thought that was tomorrow! The guy deserves it. Now if he could land the Heisman? That would be a huge haul.

Travels with Te'o: Day 2 Just landed in Teterboro, N.J. and off to NYC for NFF dinner.


Is BK traveling with Manti? How cool would it be to be along and have a conversation with these two.

Yeah I'd assume the PJ is getting quite a bit of use. BK also is doing a good amount of recruiting in areas Te'o travels to.
