There is a pretty long history with Notre Dame athletes playing more than one sport during their time in South Bend.
Currently, there are a few on the football team, who double-dip in other sports, as linebacker Drayk Bowen is one of them. He has been part of the Irish baseball team his first two years on campus, but according to Matt Freeman, the junior won’t be on the diamond during the spring and summer.
It makes plenty of sense, as Bowen didn’t play as a freshman and saw time in just three games last year. By putting all of his focus towards football, it hypothetically increases his ceiling for Notre Dame and the next level.
The Saint John native broke out on the gridiron this fall, with 78 tackles, a sack and three forced fumbles. Bowen has all the tools to succeed at the next level, and with a big season in the fall, he could have a very hard decision in front of him.
