A Notre Dame Leprechaun Tells His Story !!!



Former Fightin' Irish Leprechaun Daniel Colt Collins '10  is proud to present his brand new behind-the-scenes book "Life as the Notre Dame Leprechaun: Behind the Face of the Fighting Irish" now available at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore and online at LeprechaunBook.com.

Collins is a "double Domer" -- earning a B.A. in 2010 and a J.D. from the Notre Dame Law School in 2013.

In his unfiltered tell-all book, Collins offers a never-before-seen insider's look at Notre Dame from his own first-hand perspective as he shares unforgettable stories about becoming the face of the Fighting Irish.

From the nerve-racking anxiety of annual Leprechaun tryouts and the surging energy of Notre Dame Stadium on game days, to the adventures that come with constant travel, service, celebrations, parades, and pep-rallies, his story offers inspiration, excitement, laughter, tears, and hope.

Ultimately, this must-read for every Fightin' Irish fan is a love story about a place, its people, and the joy that awaits all those who seize what life has to offer.

Every book sold through www.LeprechaunBook.com comes personally signed by Collins, who will host in-person book signings on campus at the Notre Dame Bookstore this Friday, September 20 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday (ND v. MSU Game Day) from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
