A Trio Of Notre Dame Football Players Make Sports Illustrated’s All-American Team

It’s that time of year for the college football world... AWARDS SEASON. As you could probably tell already, most of the college football news coming out is about the season awards. It’s trophy time and final list time.

To that end, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are off to a good start with Nic Weishar, Drue Tranquill, and Brian Kelly announced as winners of various awards. So, here’s some more good news for you...

The Irish have three players on the Sports Illustrated All-American team.

Julian Love is a no-brainer here, and could very likely be the winner of this year’s Jim Thorpe Award for the nation’s best defensive back.
