Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jesse Bongiovi, will be starting his football career later this year at Notre Dame.
Well, hopefully.
Jesse will be trying to join the Fighting Irish as a walk on. He’ll start his Freshman year this Fall and he is hoping to impress coach Brian Kelly on the football field.
Jesse told the IrishSportsDaily: “I’d like to play corner, but wherever they’d like to put me. I’m open to any suggestions for coach Kelly.”
Jesse hasn’t made the squad yet but he’s still pretty excited to be going to Notre Dame. Bon Jovi’s son said that he visited the campus when he was in 8th grade and has been dreaming about attending the school ever since.
Jesse said : “I came up here when I was in eighth grade and I just fell in love with the place… The culture here, the people here, the opportunities here, they’re unreal. They’re second to none. Given the opportunity to walk on to the team and become a part of this family was an easy decision for me.”
USA Today reports that Jesse was a star football and lacrosse player at Poly Prep Country Day in Brooklyn, New York.
Jesse is Jon Bon Jovi’s second oldest child with wife Dorothea Hurley. Jesse has two young brothers, Jacob and Romeo, and an older sister, Stephanie.
Stephanie Bongiovi made headlines this year when she overdosed on heroin at her dorm at Hamilton College in New York . The musician said that his daughter is doing fine now and that they are looking forward to moving on from the scary incident.
