Trevor Laws had an amazing final season at Notre Dame, one which helped him tremendously in the NFL Draft, along with his great Senior Bowl and Combine performances. But it doesn’t mean that the losing didn’t hurt.Â
Blue and Gold sat down with Trevor to discuss ND and last season, and it’s a solid read.Â
 A few things I noted:
-  Trevor wasn’t a captain. That’s funny. I’ve known since it was announced that Trevor wasn’t a captain last year. But, as the year went on, and even after it was over, I always thought of him as one. It must’ve been that he emerged as such a leader, by example, that I just came to think that he had a “C” somewhere hidden on that jersey.
- Trevor on “why” last season happened: “We just had so many young guys trying to do things they weren’t really capable of doing yet…just a big gap in recruiting we had. It was so big. Not many other schools suffer things like that with just a depleted senior and really junior class too. You just don’t have players from those classes coming out to contribute to the team that we had in previous years. I think that big lack of just people and bodies really hurt us, those two classes were just so small. We called on a lot of guys that didn’t have a lot of experience. They’re going to be great players some day but putting the whole season on their shoulders was something they probably weren’t ready for. It’s just a different team dynamic you get with so few seniors and juniors. It’s like there’s a whole group of people that aren’t there, that were always there on every other team I’ve been on. I think that the freshmen and the younger guys, they could kind of relate to us, but not as good as a sophomore to a junior, or a junior to a senior. And our team didn’t have that. We had so few guys in the middle there that were making plays on the field.â€
Nothing shocking there, but it’s interesting to hear it from a player’s perspective.
Good luck in the NFL Trevor.  You deserve a long and successful career.
