Description

Shawn Casey, Sem dad and friend of  "Rudy" Ruettiger, will arrange to have Rudy autograph a Notre Dame jersey.


Against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Indiana, Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger in twenty seven seconds, carved his name into history books as perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame. The son of an oil refinery worker and third of 14 children, Rudy rose from valleys of discouragement and despair to the pinnacles of success. 


As fans cheered RU-DY, RUDY, he sacked the quarterback in the last 27 seconds of the only play in the only game of his college football career. He is the only player in the school's history to be carried off the field on his teammates' shoulders.


In 1993, TRISTAR Productions immortalized his life story with the blockbuster film, RUDY.
