The 2008 Captains
23rd Apr 2008
The Captains for the 2008 Football season were named just before the start of the Blue-Gold Spring Game. They are Maurice Crum Jr., David Grimes, and David Bruton. Crum the defensive captain, Grimes the offensive, and Bruton as the special teams.
Maurice Crum Jr. decided to return for a fifth year and is named captain for the second season in a row. He is the 17th player in Notre Dame’s football history to be named a two-time captain and it is certainly deserved. Maurice has played in 37 games for Notre Dame and has started everyone of them. He is a leader and should have an outstanding season this year.
David Grimes is the most experienced receiver on the Irish and has made some very athletic plays in his career. He has yet to put up big numbers in any season but that could change this year with a healthy Jimmy Clausen. Grimes has played in 22 games for the Irish and has started 15 of them.
David Bruton is one of the most hyped players for the Irish heading into the ‘08 season. He recorded 85 tackles last year which was third best on the team and he is an outstanding special teams player. David has made 444 special teams appearances in his career according to UND.com.
