Quinn played four years at Notre Dame, setting 36 single-season and career records. He leads Notre Dame quarterbacks in pass attempts (1,602), completions (929), yards passing (11,762), and touchdown passes (95), and his 29 starts are tied for the most.
He led Notre Dame to back-to-back BCS bowl trips (2006 Fiesta Bowl, 2007 Sugar Bowl) and placed fourth (2005) and third (2006) in Heisman Trophy voting.
He won the Maxwell Award, the nation’s top player, in 2006.
