Notre Dame WR Torii Hunter Jr. to use David Ortiz's locker for game at Fenway Park
Notre Dame (9-1) wide recevier Torii Hunter Jr. will have a special place to get suited up for the team's Shamrock Series game against Boston College (3-7) on Saturday.
By request of Red Sox slugger David Ortiz himself, Hunter Jr., son of five-time All-Star Torii Hunter, will get Big Papi's locker. Here's a look from Notre Dame's head football equipment manager Ryan Grooms:
