In any sport, your teammates has to get each others backs and it looks like that is going on for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team.
Defensive end [autotag]Jason Onye[/autotag] spoke with the media recently and let everyone know he’s playing with heavy heart due to [autotag]Jordan Botelho[/autotag]’s season-ending injury. One of his closest friends on the team, the defense wants to play for him.
He wasn’t the only member of the team to speak about Botelho’s injury, as linebacker [autotag]Jack Kiser[/autotag], like the leader he is, stepped up to speak about how the team is rallying around his injury.
Onye said the team is “motivated as ever now, to play fast and do it for him (Botelho) because if he was on the field, he would be right there with us.” Different things motivate different people, and it seems like this injury has had a huge impact on the Notre Dame locker room.
