Notre Dame graduate center Sam Mustipher leads an offensive line that is without 2018 NFL draftees Quenton Nelson and Mike McGlinchey, and the team captain has helped lead the Irish to an undefeated record and No. 3 national ranking.
The center is a local product from Owings Mills, Md., went to high school at Good Counsel (Md.), and headed to South Bend, Ind., for his college career.
Mustipher said although he watched the movie "Rudy" often as a kid, he wasn't a Notre Dame fan growing up and didn't have much affiliation with the school. It wasn't until a trip to campus that he made up his mind.
