In celebration of Matt Shelton’s upcoming new book, “Rising Thru Every Fall,” for this week’s Throwback Thursday, I’m going to revisit a compelling story from the January 8, 2005 issue of Scholastic Magazine, which chronicles the remarkable journey of former Notre Dame wide receiver, Matt Shelton. Written by Dave Poell, this feature highlights Shelton’s rise from relative obscurity to football stardom, despite numerous challenges. From enduring a significant injury in high school to becoming a standout player in college, Shelton’s perseverance and dedication exemplify the spirit of Notre Dame football. As we reflect on Shelton’s path, his story serves as an inspiring reminder of the resilience and determination needed to achieve greatness on and off the field.
