Focus on Faith with Jonas Gray

Several weeks ago, former Irish running back Jonas Gray tweeted about the impact Father Pete McCormick had on him in response to a great article from Pete Sampson in the Athletic on Fr. Pete. It led me to reach out to Jonas to see if he would be interested in talking about his faith journey in our Focus on Faith interview. Jonas said yes and I anticipated a very good interview considering his background. The result was one of my favorite interviews in the eight year history of talking faith, family and football with Notre Dame figures of the past and present. We hope you enjoy this conversation from the November 24, 2025 episode of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix. -- Thank you to Notre Dame Federal Credit Union for being the title sponsor of the Irish Football Fix: www.notredamefcu.com Thank you to Tony Letcher with Health Markets for being our presenting sponsor: www.tletcher.com --- Follow us on social media: Sports Michiana | Facebook: @sportsmichiana | Instagram: @sportsmichiana Chuck | Twitter: @chuckfreeby Angelo | Facebook: @angelodicarlo | Twitter @angdicarlo | Instagram: @angdicarlo Subscribe to the Podcast: Apple | Spotify -- Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.
