Notre Dame is hiring former Ohio State and NFL linebacker James Laurinaitis for its support staff.
Laurinaitis, a teammate of new Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman with the Buckeyes, announced his move to Notre Dame on the show he co-hosts for WBNS-AM radio in Columbus, Ohio. A source told ESPN that Laurinaitis, who became a broadcaster after his NFL career, likely would join the Notre Dame staff in an analyst role.
