A 4th round pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, Brennan went on to a successful career on Wall Street. But his path at Notre Dame was anything but easy. He arrived in South Bend under Gerry Faust as a tight end, and when Holtz took over, Brennan’s future with the Irish was uncertain.

Brennan shares some fantastic stories about Holtz, including how the legendary coach went to bat for him to get into Notre Dame’s MBA program. Brennan also reflects on the 1988 season and the Navy and Miami games that became two of the most important of his college career.

Focus on Faith is presented by Vince and Pat Turner, who pray these personal stories of faith encourage you.
