The annual Senior Bowl was held this weekend in Mobile, Alabama and Notre Dame had a fairly large presence as five former Golden Domers participated.
JD Bertrand, Cam Hart, Sam Hartman, Javontate Jean-Baptiste, and Marist Liufau all earned invitations to the Senior Bowl this year. The game is pretty much just the tip of the iceberg for the week that is the Senior Bowl, as much more is generally learned in the practices that lead up to the game.
So how did the former Notre Dame players who participated in the Senior Bowl perform?
Below is a recap of all five participants.
JD Bertrand – Linebacker
JD Bertrand saw his stock grow more than perhaps any other Notre Dame player at the Senior Bowl and won an award voted on by his peers. The offensive linemen and running backs of the National team voted Bertrand as the team’s top linebacker for practices during the week. In the game Bertrand started for the National squad and recorded three tackles, including one for loss early in the contest.
Cam Hart – Cornerback
Cam Hart drew rave reviews throughout the week and had a tackle for loss when he brought down Missouri running back Cody Schrader behind the line of scrimmage. However, Hart suffered a shoulder injury on the play and did not return to action on the afternoon.
Sam Hartman – Quarterback

Sam Hartman was able to see the field for nearly three full quarters for the National team but struggled quite a bit. Hartman completed just 7/25 passes on the day for 69 yards and threw an interception. In a rather surprising turn of events, Hartman’s best plays of the day came when he ran the ball.
Javontae Jean-Baptiste – Defensive End
Nice play by Notre Dame DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste to recognize and stop a screen pass. You can see the alarm bells go off when he gets into the backfield too…
