Remembering Notre Dame’s Louis Nix III

Remembering Notre Dame’s Louis Nix III

A little over 24 hours after Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis was fired from his post in 2009, Jacksonville, Fla., native Louis Nix III gave his pledge to attend Notre Dame — even before a new boss was named to lead the operation. Before he ever suited up at Notre Dame, Nix already provided a unique touch and personality. After all, in the new era with head coach Brian Kelly — who was hired a week after Nix’s commitment — Nix received the highest national ranking from Rivals (No. 85) in what would be Kelly's recruiting debut at Notre Dame.
