It was quite the career for Notre Dame linebacker Jack Kiser, who was extremely emotional following the Irish’ loss to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Championship game.
The sixth-year player has been through two different head coaches, Brian Kelly and Marcus Freeman, but there was one thing that stood out to him the most, “the people,” as he held back tears speaking with the media.
Kiser is the program’s all-time leader in games played, has been a finalist for multiple awards and was named as a team caption this season. He is the epitome of a Notre Dame man and you can see how much this loss hurt him.
He played well, recording five tackles with one for a loss, but not getting it done on the scoreboard will hang with him. Regardless, Kiser and Notre Dame has a fantastic season, one that could be a springboard for the Irish to return to national prominence.
