Heading into fall camp, it looked like Notre Dame was still looking for a way to get under the 85-man limit. But after transfers and departures, the Irish football program managed to find itself was a scholarship to spare. The beneficiary? Walk-on running back Josh Anderson.
On Thursday morning, Anderson was awarded a scholarship by head coach Brian Kelly, putting the 5-foot-9 senior’s tuition tab on the program.
Already used as the team’s runway model to show-off the Shamrock Series uniform, Kelly took the opportunity to also share with the team that he’d be awarding Anderson for his hard work.
