About this sermon

Joe Alt is following in his father's footsteps in many ways. As his father did, Joe plays football on the offensive line. Tonight he is set to be drafted in the first round just as his father was in 1984. There is one slight deviation. Joe Alt decided against accepting the football scholarship offer from the University of Iowa, his father's alma mater. Instead, back in 2020 Joe picked Notre Dame. Saying he had attended Catholic middle school and high school and picked a Catholic college as well. Offensive line coach at Notre Dame, Joe Rudolph, joins to tell us about Joe Alt and why he thinks an NFL team is going to spend a precious first-round pick on him tonight. Regarding Alt's faith journey, a large part of reason he picked Notre Dame was because he was looking for a Catholic school. Rudolph discusses whether he could tell Alt's faith means a lot to him. Alt is set to follow his father, John, in the NFL. Rudolph shares whether the 2 of them are close. As Alt is set to move to the NFL, Rudolph fills us on what he remembers most about Joe Alt. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
