On Saturday night, the news that no one wanted to hear after learning former Notre Dame NT Louis Nix was missing began to break. Louis Nix, a 29-year-old with a personality that was larger than life, had tragically lost his life. A man who brought joy to so many, gone far too soon.
Louis Nix was one of the largest human beings to play football for Notre Dame in the last decade, but his personality was even larger. He came to Notre Dame as a shy kid from Florida and left the University as one of the most universally beloved players to wear a Notre Dame uniform in years.
