Notre Dame hosted Virginia on Senior Day on Saturday but it was more than just current Fighting Irish players that received cheers.

Former Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman, who played the 2023 season with the Fighting Irish, was back at the stadium for the game. Hartman currently is on the Washington Commanders roster in the NFL, who lost at Philadelphia on Thursday.
