Throwback Thursday: Former Notre Dame Linebacker, Courtney Watson

Being a student-athlete at the University of Notre Dame is no Sunday stroll in the park. The rigors of classwork alone are enough to send students into fits of panic, not to mention all of the other demands and time restraints that go along with playing a varsity sport. Our Lady’s University excels at drawing the caliber of individuals who shine under this special brand of pressure. Courtney Watson was just this sort of student-athlete. Not only did he excel both on and off the field during his time at Notre Dame, he also spent an entire year serving on the student senate, representing his dorm Zahm Hall, as well as shining on the courts of Bookstore Basketball.
