Three Notre Dame players named to four national awards as finalists

Early this week has been more reinforcement that Notre Dame football has one of the most talented teams in the country.

The Irish saw three of their stars being named to four different national award finalist lists, with star running back Jeremiyah Love leading the way. The junior was placed in the top group for the Doak Walker Award (nation’s top running back) against Ole Miss’ Kewan Lacy and Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy. Love also was named a finalist for the Maxwell Award (National Player of the Year), going up against Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Ohio State’s Julian Sayin. Expect those three to be Heisman Trophy finalist as well.

Love’s backfield mate, Jadarian Price has been dominant in the return game this fall, as he was named as a finalist for the Jet Award, given to the top returner in college football. There are four others that the running back is going up against to win this award.

And finally, star cornerback Leonard Moore was named as a Jim Thorpe Award finalist, going out to the nations top defensive back. He’s going up against LSU’s Mansoor Delane and Ohio State’s Caleb Downs to take home this award.

In just a few week’s we will all find out if any of these Notre Dame stars will be bringing some hardware back to South Bend.
