Below you will see a short letter to ND that Kyle had in the Observer this week. This kid is just a total class act. I must admit a huge man crush on a great TE, great athlete and more important a great representative of the ND family. I totally support his choice to move to the NFL. With a grading of being the number 1 TE selected, he is maxed out. He MIGHT have been able to improve one or two selections by coming back, but the risk vs reward was way to high.
So, THANK YOU Rudy!!!!! You gave every ounce of yourself in every game. We will forever have great memories of you at games like Purdue in 2009 with a game winning catch or the 95 yard TD against UM this past season. Best of Luck to you on your future in the NFL. I will always be rooting for you!!
To my fellow Irish students:
I can't thank all of you enough. You have been there for me and the rest of my teammates through the highs and lows and through it all, you have showed your loyalty and unwavering support. Every Saturday, you showed up and gave your all to make Notre Dame Stadium the best place in the country for college football, and for that, I'll be forever grateful.
I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to play football for the University of Notre Dame. I loved being both a student and an athlete here, and I'll cherish each minute that I wore the blue and gold. This school and this city hold a special place in my heart and I intend to remain an active part of this community that has given me so much.
I am very excited about whatever the future holds for me, but know that regardless of where my next stop may be, I will always be Irish!
Finally, I'd like to give special recognition to my little brother, Louis Nix III, who will be wearing the No. 9 and continuing the tradition!
All the best.
