The Notre Dame Fighting Irish got a whole lot of good news today when Te’von Coney decided to return for his senior year. Coney and Jerry Tillery both decided in the 11th hour, and the Irish defense could be fierce in 2018.
We talk about the mission everyday: graduate our players and win a national championship. While I’m excited to have Jerry and Te’von return from a football standpoint, I’m proud that they both believe in this mission and value the significance of the ND degree.

Coney was the teams leading tackler and sack leader in 2017 after starting the season as #2 on the depth chart.
