One of Notre Dame’s legendary Heisman winners is no longer with us — Johnny Lujack has passed away at the age of 98.

From the Notre Dame press release:

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (July 25, 2023) — University of Notre Dame football legend Johnny Lujack passed away Tuesday in Naples, Florida, at the age of 98. A Heisman Trophy winner, College Football Hall of Famer and two-time NFL Pro Bowler, Lujack built a legacy in college football, the National Football League and most notably, at Notre Dame.
