Notre Dame cornerback honors heritage with unique jersey nameplate in Sugar Bowl

Notre Dame players wear their last names on jerseys during postseason games. Cornerback Charles Du stands out because he chose to have his name written in Chinese, honoring his heritage. Du, a junior walk-on from Beijing, has not played this season. His unique nameplate gained attention during the Sugar Bowl against Georgia, where it was easily visible. This choice is similar to former Arizona State player Jackson He, who also used his native language on his jersey. He made history as the first Chinese-born player to score a touchdown in FBS.
