Notre Dame football: Tommy Rees through the years
Outside of a three-year window from 2014 to 2016, Tommy Rees has been associated with Notre Dame football since entering freshman in 2010. He took over as the starting quarterback this season, guiding the Irish to the victory in their last four games.
2011 saw Dayne Crist start at quarterback before Rees took over the reins with Andrew Hendrix to help the Irish qualify for the Champs Sports Bowl. Slated to be the starter in 2012, Rees was arrested at an off-campus party the previous summer. As a result, he was suspended by Brian Kelly for the opener that year and Everett Golson led the Irish to a 12-0 regular season that year.
Rees capped off his playing career by helping the Irish to a 9-4 record and a Pinstripe Bowl win over Rutgers. After taking up coaching as a graduate assistant on Pat Fitzgerald’s Northwestern team in 2015, Rees spent 2016 with the San Diego Chargers.
Rees returned to Notre Dame in 2017 where he served as quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Since 2019, he has been Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator.
In all, Rees spent 10 years at Notre Dame. Will it be more or will he take a senior coordinator position elsewhere? Time will tell, but in the meantime, see Rees again as a player and assistant coach at Notre Dame.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound senior enters the season as perhaps the biggest question mark against a Notre Dame team eager to show that last year’s 12-0 regular season was nothing. no coincidence. Rees showed last season that he could step in when Everett Golson was struggling or injured and provide a spark. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings, File)
