As Notre Dame prepares to contend for a national championship, Fighting Irish wide receiver Jordan Faison is preparing to contend for a second.
Notre Dame hasn’t won a football title since Faison arrived in South Bend, but he did win a title with Notre Dame’s lacrosse team in May 2024.
Faison played as a midfielder as a freshman for the Notre Dame lacrosse squad that topped Maryland for a national championship.
It’s an impressive feat for a two-sport athlete to be on the cusp of another title in another sport, and that’s exactly where Faison finds himself before Monday’s College Football Playoff finale.
