A Walk To Remember
Irish senior nose guard Louis Nix III joined his parents on the field before
Notre Dame's final home game in 2013. Nix said greeting his mom on the
field during Senior Day was one of the reasons he returned to South Bend
this year. Nix has not declared for the NFL Draft yet, but he will graduate
this month. He had season-ending knee surgery two days before the game,
but made sure he would be able to celebrate the pregame moment. For Nix
and his parents, Jacksonville, Fla., residents, the snowy day was a last reminder of the starkly different environment to which he assimilated so well.
