Notre Dame has had their fair share of multi-sport star athletes over the years. Back during World War II it was Edward “Moose” Krause that starred in football and basketball while also lettering in track. Dick Arrington finished third nationally in wrestling in 1965 while also earning All-American honors for helping protect Heisman Trophy quarterback John Huarte.
Bob Golic doubled up as an All-American wrestler while also starring on the football team while Raghib “Rocket” Ismail earned All-American honors in both football and track.
Perhaps the most-known multisport star at Notre Dame in recent years was wide receiver and star pitcher, Jeff Samardzija. Samardzija helped lead Notre Dame’s turnaround in 2005 and 2006 before opting to play professional baseball instead of try his shot at the NFL. The Valparaiso, Indiana product crossed paths with incoming freshman Drayk Bowen in a photo that was shared on social media Wednesday night.
Bowen was recently named the 2022 High School Butkus Award winner as the nation’s top high school linebacker. As well as football, Bowen plans to play baseball for the Irish as well.
