Matt Hegarty '15 to Play for the Oregon Ducks


The young man has his degree from Notre Dame -- started 11 games for the Fighting Irish in 2014 and he wasn't confident he'd see the field this fall...

Tells you something about the quality of this upcoming Notre Dame's offensive line.

So, Matt will be playing for the Oregon Ducks this coming season -- I believe I speak for most Irish fans when I say we wish you great success!  I hope you have as many starts as helmets in Oregon...
