On Friday night Notre Dame celebrated Team 127 with the annual Echoes event – aka the old Notre Dame football banquet. The yearly celebration is highlighted, of course, by handing out a myriad of awards. Here’s a full recap of who took home what honors this evening.
Rockne Student-Athlete Award: Jarrett Grace
This award is handed out for outstanding performance in the classroom & on the field. Grace, a 5th year senior, battled back from a gruesome leg injury that cost him about a season and a half. While he didn’t fit his way back into the starting lineup, the fact that he was able to make it back on the field at all after pretty much shattering his leg on the floor of Jerry World in Dallas is a major accomplishment.
