Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman has been promising for some time that he was getting a necklace made out of the portion of the rib he had removed in a medical procedure. He officially has followed through on that promise.
The Notre Dame football team’s X account made a point of showing off Hartman’s new jewelry prior to Saturday’s opening game against Navy in Dublin, Ireland. Sure enough, Hartman rather proudly wore the necklace, which features multiple pieces of the rib he had removed roughly a year ago.

Hartman reaffirmed back in July that this was in the plans. The quarterback’s mother did the work to make it. He was, in fact, not kidding.
Hartman is entering his first season at Notre Dame after transferring from Wake Forest during the offseason. The new Fighting Irish starter passed for 77 touchdowns over the last two seasons with the Demon Deacons.
