Jake Golic has struggled through his Notre Dame career because of back injury that required surgery. Out of High School, many doubted whether or not he should have even received a scholarship from Notre Dame. Golic has played in mop up duty this year and in 2010. He has never caught a pass in game action. Jake Golic will not be returning to the Notre Dame Football team in 2013.
