Episode No. 16 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series features Bo Bauer, a former Notre Dame linebacker who played for the Fighting Irish from 2018 to 2022. We discuss his various roles on the Notre Dame football team, from a special-teams star and fan favorite to nickel linebacker to team captain. Our conversation also delves into his tumultuous final season at Notre Dame, which was cut short by injury, and how that path led him down an arduous road as he pursued a career in the NFL. Still, he spent time with the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks before suffering another significant injury and retiring from the game in September 2024. Now, Bauer works for his mentor and a fellow former Notre Dame linebacker, Jack Shields, as an Implementation associate at Shields at Home and a strategic advisor with Project LAND, which stands for Life After Notre Dame.
