Well folks, One Foot Down is publishing profiles for the Notre Dame football team, player-by-player, as we count down the days until kickoff against Temple. And wouldn’t you know it, for reasons I cannot fathom, I have been chosen to author the in-depth profile for the one and only Montgomery VanGorder, senior quarterback and placekick holder, and fellow #4 along with LB Te’von Coney.
Montgomery VanGorder came to Notre Dame as a preferred walk-on in the class of 2014, joining the program and school the same year as his father Brian, who was hired to the position of defensive coordinator when Bob Diaco left to take the head coaching job at UConn.
