Notre Dame football: Sam Hartman’s rib necklace has debuted

If you’ve followed Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman’s story for very long you’ve probably heard about how he had to have a hip removed before his 2022 season at Wake Forest.  The surgery cost Hartman a game but ultimately he hasn’t seemingly impacted on the field.

The bigger story involving Hartman’s rib this past year has been what he planned to do with it.  We thought it’d make a good rivalry trophy between Notre Dame and Wake Forest but Hartman understandably had better plans.

And they seemed like something an old viking or something would do.

He wanted to make his rib into a piece of jewelry and in time for kickoff, Sam Hartman has his rib on a necklace.  Check it out below.

Call me old school but this is a lot cooler for a quarterback to do than paint his finger nails trashing his opponent.
