Ryan Harris, a former offensive tackle who helped the Fighting Irish capture a national championship and later contributed to the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl victory, announced that he will step away from his role as Notre Dame's radio color analyst.
After eight years of dissecting the team's on‑field strategies for listeners, Harris said he is turning his attention to a legal education, enrolling in law school to pursue a new career path.
While he will no longer be behind the microphone for the university's broadcasts, Harris left the door open for potential opportunities in the NFL or on television, suggesting that his analytical voice may still find a platform elsewhere.
Who Could Fill the Void?
The university has yet to name a successor, but former quarterback Ian Book, who led the team to a 2022 playoff run, is being discussed as a possible candidate to step into the analyst seat.
Fans and alumni have expressed a mix of gratitude for Harris's contributions and curiosity about how the broadcast team will evolve without his distinctive perspective.
