Notre Dame cornerback Charles Du showcases Chinese heritage with unique jersey during playoff game
Notre Dame cornerback Charles Du is gaining attention for wearing a jersey with his name in traditional Chinese characters. This is a departure from the usual English spelling and highlights his Chinese heritage. Du, a walk-on player from Beijing, is the first Notre Dame athlete to feature his name in this way. The team typically does not display names on jerseys, except during postseason games. This gesture follows a similar move by former Arizona State player Jackson He, who was the first Chinese-born athlete to score a touchdown in a Power 5 conference game. Du's unique jersey has sparked interest among college football fans.
