Jonaz Walton Catches Eyes with The Irish After Breakout Performance

At just 18 years old, true freshman Jonaz Walton is making a serious case to become Notre Dame’s RB1 after a breakout 120-yard performance against North Carolina.

From Carrollton, Georgia, to South Bend, this is the side of Jonaz Walton you haven’t seen.
