Throwback Thursday: Former Notre Dame Tight End, Irv Smith

This week I’d like to take some time to walk down memory lane with my friend and classmate, former Notre Dame Fighting Irish tight end, Irv Smith. He lights up the room as soon as he walks in with that smile and signature dimples. He’s a friend to everyone, would give you the shirt off his back, and always found a way to talk the dining hall ladies out of an extra steak on “steak night.” (Even though none of us were sure they were really steaks.) Irv Smith worked his way from being a three-sport star at tiny Pemberton High in New Jersey to becoming the 20th overall pick in the first round of the 1993 NFL Draft.
