In the latest episode of The Book Report, Ian Book talks with Notre Dame defensive back Christian Gray to reflect on his journey with the Irish, the people and faith that have shaped him, and his evolving role on the Notre Dame defense.
Gray takes us back to one of the biggest plays of his career: his game-changing interception against Penn State that helped set up Notre Dame’s game-winning field goal. He shares what he saw on the play, what went through his mind when the ball landed in his hands, and why he immediately looked to God afterward.
Gray also opens up about the impact his mom has had on his life, the importance of his faith, and why the Grotto has become a special place for him on campus.
