+1000 aura points. Imagine not seeing the field in 2024 but still having one of the coolest jerseys out there. Notre Dame is in a dogfight with the Bulldogs. Now, Marcus Freeman and the Irish are in the lead with 20 points on the board as Georgia still struggles to find a stable foundation after Carson Beck’s exit. However, recently, Notre Dame is getting celebrated back on Reddit. All of it for one simple gesture. Joining the Notre Dame squad is a player coming from Beijing. Now, it looks like Marcus Freeman is all in supporting culture because the Chinese CB’s jersey had something interesting on the back!!

Charles Du‘s nameplate is in Mandarin. And frankly? It looks badass. More so on the white and gold Notre Dame fit. This entire revelation pushed Bucky (Deion Sanders Jr.) to add Du’s name to his “Beijing Boys”. “Make sure yall support another member of @j5fleezy, @lajohntayw & @coach_vincentdancy group “The Beijing Boys” in his game vs Georgia,” Well Off Media, aka Bucky wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.

A friendly jab to LaJohntay Wester and Jimmy Horn Jr. With how intense the ND vs Georgia game has been? These shenanigans do lift the mood. But yeah, Vincent Dancy will be missing out from the squad.

After the Alamo disaster, the EDGE coach was hired by MS State. Good pick, to be honest. If one thing, the defense from Colorado was massive this year. The EDGE group alone brought in around 39 sacks. Arguably the highest in the Big 12.

However, this little “jersey” thing could point to something interesting. You see, in college football, Du won’t be the only one who has been able to represent his lineage and culture. There was one other player, and he was quite massive.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Charles Du follow in Jackson He's footsteps and make history for Chinese players in college football?

Have an interesting take?

Sun Devils legend!!

“Chinese people can ball, too.” 2020 season of Arizona State football and we got ourselves quite the amazing player. Devils RB Peizhang Jackson He was massive for the Devils and remains one of the best modern-day Chinese American football players.

When the Devils mopped the floor with the Wildcats in a massive 70-7 win, Jackson made history by becoming the first Chinese-born player to bring in a touchdown for the Devils. Now that Du is the second Chinese player getting all the attention from Irish fans, could he recreate the same history Jackson did?

Who knows? Maybe just like Jackson, we would end up spotting Du’s jersey in the College Football Hall of Fame as well?
