The Showtime series A Season With Notre Dame Football has been must-see TV for Fighting Irish football fans this fall. The behind-the-scenes look at America’s most storied college football program has included everything, from heartbreak (injuries to Malik Zaire and various others, the Clemson game) to triumph (DeShone Kizer’s emergence, the USC game, etc.) to hilarity (Sheldon Day’s mom, football players in a haunted house, etc.).
However, one of the most engaging and charming story lines has certainly been the show’s focus on true freshman defensive tackle Jerry Tillery. Tillery, playfully referred to as “Terry Jillery” by various veteran players, stands tall (like, really tall) as the perfect example of why Notre Dame football players are great for this type of show.
