NOTRE DAME, Ind. - University of Notre Dame freshman linebacker Manti Te'o has decided he will return to campus for the spring semester and delay his mission trip for at least one year and possibly until later in his life. Te'o will continue at Notre Dame during his sophomore year and will be a member of the Irish football team in 2010.
Te'o ranked fourth on the team in 2009 with 63 tackles including 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack and added one pass breakup. He played in all 12 games and started nine contests.
The 63 tackles recorded by Te'o were the most by a Notre Dame freshman since 1975 and the third most all time by an Irish freshman (Bob Golic, 82 tackles in 1975; Ross Browner, 68 tackles in 1973).
Te'o became a full-time starter for Notre Dame in the fifth game of the season against Washington and he ranked second on the Irish with 57 tackles over the final eight games (Safety Kyle McCarthy had 64 tackles in that stretch). Te'o recorded 10 tackles against both Washington and Stanford and totaled nine tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss and one pass breakup against Boston College.
A native of Laie, Hawaii, Te'o is enrolled in Notre Dame's First Year of Studies program.
The following are quotes from Manti Te'o collected in a phone conversation by Notre Dame director of football media relations Brian Hardin:
What have you decided to do in regards to your mission?
"My decision is to come back to Notre Dame and prepare for the next football season."
Now is this just for next season? When will you take your mission?
"I'm not sure just yet. I'm not sure if I'm going to take it after next year or later on in life." <!-- STORY AD BEGINS HERE -->

<!--#perl sub="NAS_ads::jserver" arg="story" -->
</TD><TD width=5>
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- STORY AD ENDS HERE -->Who all did you consult with on this decision?
"I mainly talked to my parents and sometimes some of my family members to get their input. They were all quite supportive. I also talked to my bishop up in South Bend.
How tough was this decision for you?
"This was probably the biggest decision that I've had to face in my entire life. I knew the impact of my decision could have a positive influence on those who follow me and those who watch what I do. I always want to have a positive influence on them. I just thought that I was sent to Notre Dame for a purpose and that is a purpose I have to devote to."
What were some of the factors that led you to the decision to return?
"I think it's the connections I have been able to make with people and the ability I have to meet people and influence them for good. I think that is a big factor in it. The coaching change didn't have a factor. Football wasn't a factor. It was strictly a spiritual thing for me."
When did you come to the decision to return to Notre Dame?
"It's something that has been pulling at me for some time now. Ever since the season started I have been thinking about it and praying about it and really trying to figure out what I would do. It's been a hard decision and we finalized our decision when I got back here (to Hawaii) with my family."
Have you had a chance to talk to Coach Kelly about your mission?
"Not about the mission. I got to talk to him on two occasions and he's a really good guy. We talked about football and talked about life in general. I respect him and have trust in him and I think he'll do a great job leading our team."

Hawaiian,
I can just see Manti on the field, sneaking up to the line, screaming at the opposing quarterback, "What, Bra, you got beef? You wan' go, bra?"
lol lol braddah i give u credit for trying
that was north shore the movie pidgeon english. Now a days its like this
wat brah u like trow I going give u one false crack fo giving me da stink eye. I going buss yo face so no make li dat cuzz u no da irish is da bess
The disappointing part of that is leaving an "out" for next year. I just want to know Te'o is apart of this team indefinitely, but he seems to leave the door open to leaving at any point. You have to respect his honesty though, and the obvious impact he has on the defensive side of the ball.

Kind of had a feeling he would be staying when he was recognized by Swarbrick as part of the leadership committee that was involved in the hiring process. He obviously takes a lot of pride in our University.
Good news that we'll get to see him take that next step to becoming an ND great at linebacker.

Not North Shore the movie. I lived it, back in '93-'95, when I lived in Waianae. I was stationed at Barber's Point.

Actually, even though we had a Waianae address, there were about 4 of us that shared a house, on Farrington Highway, just East of those condos at Maili Point. We actually did a lot of our shopping, etc, in Nanakuli. Those were good times, man. I was 25 years old, and living in a 2200 sq. ft. house, ON THE BEACH, in Hawaii.
