The 2019 season is right around the corner for the Dallas Cowboys, with OTA’s and training camp getting ready to kickoff in the coming weeks/months.
Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith made the most of his offseason, going back to Notre Dame to finish out his college degree. Smith is set to graduate from Notre Dame this Saturday, and will walk to earn his degree in Film & Television.
Smith talked to DallasCowboys.com’s David Helman about why it was so important for him to graduate and finish what he started at Notre Dame.
“When I left after my junior year, I promised my mom that I would go back and finish…Finishing my third year with the Cowboys, it was time.” – Jaylon Smith
2,025 @NotreDame undergraduates will receive degrees during Commencement Weekend.
That contingent includes @thejaylonsmith
