Tommy Rees' Starter Status Tested Again at Notre Dame

For the third year in a row, the former Lake Forest High School star fights for the starting quarterback position. This season, there's more competition nipping at his heels.

Before Tommy Rees was ready to take the stage as a leading man, he needed support from a few old friends. So on a warm March afternoon, Rees and two of his former Lake Forest High School teammates, Connor Cavalaris and Bo Dever, played catch on an indoor field at Lake Forest College. As Cavalaris, now a Notre Dame teammate, and Dever, a Michigan recruit, ran fade routes, short slants and posts, Rees worked on planting his feet and hitting his receivers in stride.

It was the call Connor Cavalaris had been waiting for his entire life.  The 6-foot-1, 187-pound Lake Forest High School safety believed he had earned the call. His senior season, he reached heights on the football field never thought possible. All-Conference, All-Area, 50 tackles, four interceptions. He also blossomed into a leader, captain of a Scouts team that won its first playoff game in six seasons. He loved the game and wanted to take his talents to a college program. He knew the program he wanted to play for. They wanted him. All he was waiting for was the call. And in March, it came. Only he almost never knew it came. Journey It was Oct. 17, 2010.
