Notre Dame’s do-everything walk-on who thrived on special teams
Hurleman’s biggest value was his versatility and toughness: in the 2024 season at Notre Dame, he handled punt-return duties, logged 23 punt returns for 138 yards, and added 13 tackles plus a fumble recovery on special teams.[1][6] He wasn’t a flashy, pure-cover corner in the traditional sense, but he brought reliable energy, experience from Colgate, and the kind of high-motor, all-purpose edge coaches love in a depth piece and special-teams weapon.[1][10][15]
