At #11 we have ... University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback Ian Book! Ian, come on down and let us say a few words about you!
First, yes, Ian is a scholarship player, an athletic scholarship player, Book skills notwithstanding. In fact the redshirt freshman quarterback was offered a scholarship by ex QB coach Mike Sanford, who presumably thought his #1 QB potential at Boise State (Sanford’s previous stop) translated to great #2 potential at Notre Dame. Since arriving in 2016, Book has been successfully providing the “insurance” necessary to ensure that another VanGorder doesn’t decide the fate of football games at Notre Dame.
