Tough, trusted, and battle-tested Notre Dame linebacker
Jarrett Grace was a physical, high-IQ inside linebacker for Notre Dame, known for his downhill toughness, leadership, and ability to steady the defense when the Irish needed a tone-setter. In 2013, he led Notre Dame with 40 tackles before a season-ending broken leg, and his comeback story became a defining part of his profile; he later earned Notre Dame’s Rockne Student-Athlete Award for resilience and performance. He’s the kind of player coaches love for accountability and special-teams value, though his injury history is the big caution flag.
