Blue & Gold Illustrated: America's Foremost Authority on Notre Dame Football

www.BLUEANDGOLD.com FEBRUARY 2020 21 the season is junior rover Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. He was the first player that former defensive coor- dinator Mike Elko and current de- fensive coordinator and linebackers coach Clark Lea recruited to play their rover position, which is a hy- brid linebacker and safety. Owusu-Koramoah was born to play rover in this defense. During the 33-9 win over Iowa State, he led all players in total tackles (nine), tackles for a loss (four) and sacks (three). The junior also had a quarterback hurry and a forced fumble that he recovered. "He's just an explosive football player," Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said of Owusu-Koramoah. The Notre Dame head coach also knows that Owusu-Koramoah is a vital cog in Lea's defense and that the best football is still ahead of him. "You can see his physical ability is real, his suddenness," Kelly noted. "You've got to factor him in when you're game planning. He's loved by all of our players.
