How did Riley Leonard get here at Notre Dame? Start with inspiration from his grandfather
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Gib Leonard will watch from his couch on Monday night. That view is probably better anyhow.
The grandfather of Notre Dame’s starting quarterback can pause and rewind the plays as he likes. The price is right too. So, as Riley Leonard leads Notre Dame against Ohio State inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, chasing the Fighting Irish’s first national championship in 36 years, one of his role models will be at home in a 900-square foot cinderblock house in Fairhope, Ala., without much of a lawn.
