Episode Details

Shawn Lyght just shattered lacrosse history by winning the Men’s Tewaaraton Award—college lacrosse’s Heisman—making him the first defenseman ever to claim it in the award’s 25-year history. A junior standout for Notre Dame, Lyght anchored one of the nation’s top defenses, helping the Irish reach the national championship game before falling to Princeton. He also earned back-to-back William C. Schmeisser Awards for best defenseman. With ties to Notre Dame football legend Todd Lyght, Lyght’s family legacy runs deep in athletics. Meanwhile, teammate Josh Yago—a U.S. Space Force lieutenant and Air Force Academy grad—spoke powerfully before the championship game about honoring his country, regardless of the outcome, reminding fans that elite athletes carry diverse, patriotic commitments.
