Had the blessing of knowing X when he went to Omaha Burke. Dad was at every game. Such a kind person, humble, kind, lighthearted and hardworking. He deserves the world.

@Crxsovr2k He now has a chance to cement a legacy at Notre Dame. I'm very proud of him. Next season I will be wearing a number 0 at his senior day game.

God Bless Jeff Watts, Jeff Watts is a true role model as a Man and Father

Sad for dads injury but a true story of grace and love and why sports can be a catalyst for good even greatness

[@DCSk8er529]

Xavier Watts is on his way to becoming a legend at Notre Dame. I got his autograph last week. He's a cool dude. He is showing just because you wear the number 0, doesn't mean you ain't a hero.

He’s returning for the ‘24 season!!!!

[@tedpeters896]

Get that degree dude... and become a great father. I'm an oid Domer and feel so profoundly satisfied with my life because of how well my children and grandchildren are turning out. I love watching you play and hope you do well in the NFL... but I am far more a fan of how the rest of your life will turn out.

[@DCSk8er529]

He is definitely a future captain. He deserves it.

Makes a lot of sense why X wound up at Notre Dame.
