Julian Love had a great season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 2018. The junior cornerback is a huge reason why the Irish defense was so good this year, and he helped lead them to a #4 defensive pass efficiency ranking that help the Irish become the #3 team in the country and a participant in the college football playoff.
Despite being snubbed by the Thorpe Award for the best defensive back in the country, Julian Love became a consensus All-American by being placed on the first team defense in the first four lists of the five that count.
