SOUTH BEND —Owen Strebig, a towering freshman tackle for Notre Dame football, gets his size from his mother’s side of the family.
Kate Strebig is 6-foot-2, while Jason’s dad stands just 5-11.
“This is the funny part,” Owen Strebig said Saturday after practice.
Older sister Abigail is 6-2 and played Division I volleyball at Fairleigh Dickinson. Their twin brothers are in the 6-5 range.
Owen, who turns 19 in June, is already 6-8 and 304 pounds. That ties the Brookfield, Wis., product with sophomore offensive lineman Sullivan Absher for the distinction of tallest active Irish player.
