• Crable was a two-time First Team All-American and becomes the 46th player in Notre Dame history to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The linebacker holds the Fighting Irish record for career (521), single-season (187) and single-game (26) tackling records.

• Gibson finished his career as the school's leader in receptions (112), touchdowns (24), and receiving yards (2,347), all of which have now been passed. However, he still owns the record for most yards per catch average (21). Gibson elected to pursue a baseball career, highlighted by his iconic World Series home run with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
