The best way to describe Notre Dame football players are simply that they are cut from a different cloth. At Notre Dame, student athletes are held to a different standard from an academic standpoint. Others go the extra mile with philanthropic pursuits and community service.
That is the best way to describe Notre Dame safety Jalen Elliott, who was selected to the 2019 Danny Wuerffel Award watch list on Thursday afternoon.
Elliott’s development on the football field has been fun to watch. Last season, Elliott proved to be one of Notre Dame’s breakout players on defense. His development was a pleasant surprise for the Irish.
