Onwuanibe, a junior computer science major from Laurel, Md., gained fame by sticking to the same traditions he’s been doing since his freshman year in the student section. As is customary for Dunne Hall residents, Onwuanibe took his shirt off for “Fourth Quarter Skins.” No matter the weather, shirts come off during the fourth quarter for the men of Dunne Hall.

Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman, who threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in the game, gave Onwuanibe a shout-out during his on-field interview after the game. The crowd was so loud around Onwuanibe at that point that he didn’t even realize what Hartman said.

The academic opportunities ultimately attracted Onwuanibe to apply and enroll at Notre Dame, but he promptly signed up to play Interhall Tackle Football as a freshman. Dunne Hall combined with St. Edward’s Hall to win the league with the championship game played in Notre Dame Stadium, where he became famous for a few moments on Saturday.
