Brian Kelly has just scored his first victory at Notre Dame.

Star linebacker Manti Te'o has reportedly decided to spend the next three years with the Irish instead of taking his Mormon mission, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Te'o was rated as the top defensive recruit in the nation last year. He played in all 12 games and was fourth on the team in tackles with 63 though he didn't assume a starting role until midway through the year.

Te'o's father, Brian, told the Tribune via a text message that Manti "knows why he was inspired to choose ND and is committed to spending the next 3 years there." Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints usually take a two-year Mormon mission after their 19th birthday. But Te'o apparently will make his Notre Dame experience his mission.

Te'o will be a huge building block defensively for Kelly and the Irish, who struggled on that side of the ball the past few seasons under former coach Charlie Weis.

Urban Meyer is stepping down as coach of the Florida football team, athletics director Jeremy Foley announced Saturday afternoon in a release.

"I have given my heart and soul to coaching college football and mentoring young men for the last 24-plus years and I have dedicated most of my waking moments the last five years to the Gator football program," Meyer said in statement. "I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities of faith and family.

"After consulting with my family, Dr. Machen, Jeremy Foley and my doctors, I believe it is in my best interest to step aside and focus on my health and family.

"I'm proud to be a part of the Gainesville community and the Gator Nation and I plan to remain in Gainesville and involved with the University of Florida.

"I'm very appreciative for the opportunity I've had to be a part of a tremendous institution - from Dr. Machen to Jeremy Foley and the entire administrative staff at UF. I'm also very thankful for the chance to work with some of the best assistants in college football and coach some of the best college football players and watch them grow both on and off the field as people. I will cherish the relationships with them the most."

Meyer will coach his last game for Florida against Cincinnati on Jan. 1 at the Sugar Bowl.


Hate to speculate, but Im thinking the same thing.......

I won't question his motivation and reasons for not going, but I, as an member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints am somewhatdisappointed about the decision. There are more important things than football.
Of course, I wish him well and success while playing at Notre Dame and hopefully he won't regret the decision. Good Luck Manti!

Abougt Urban Meyer:

Eeek! I was shocked to hear that. Can't Tebow heal him?
