Will Fuller Named Notre Dame Football MVP


I will never forget a conversation I had with former Notre Dame Offensive Coordinator Chuck Martin, my Uncle Pat Sweeney and cousin Kevin Sweeney in the middle of the team's locker room at the Guglielmino Athletics Complex -- three years ago...

We had an impromptu conversation about the "star rankings" given to recruits when I asked Coach Martin this question;  "What incoming recruit do you think will surprise the most?"

His answer:  "We signed a wide receiver out of Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia named Will Fuller, that no one is talking about.  We believe he will be a big time player for us and he's only a so-called "three star" recruit.  He is really fast and he can high-point the ball..."

Prophetic.
