Former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book joins Tyler Wojciak for Part 1 of an exclusive two-part interview to celebrate the 500th episode of Locked on Irish. Ian and Tyler talk through the early years of Ian’s Notre Dame career, from being a 3-star high school recruit, to his early playing days in 2017, to the unforgettable QB battle and breakout stretch in 2018. Ian shares behind-the-scenes stories from the LSU bowl win, what it was really like during the Wimbush-Book competition, and how he handled becoming the starter at one of the most high-profile programs in the country. Part 2 of the interview will drop tomorrow.
