As we all remember, Notre Dame linebacker [autotag]Manti Te’o[/autotag] had an illustrious career for the Irish.
He was a two-time All-American, won the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, Lott Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Butkus Award, and the Lombardi Trophy during his senior year in 2012. Te’o’s hardware during that year was impressive and it was enough for the National Football Foundation to add his as a nominee to be enshrined into its Hall of Fame.
Multiple other big names made the list as well like former Irish assistant [autotag]Urban Meyer[/autotag], Alabama head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag], Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald and center Olin Kreutz.
