Fighting Irish Star Brandon Hoyte Is A JW

At Notre Dame, quarterbacking only the defense was one of his easier adjustments. The year before Hoyte came to America's foremost Catholic institution, where religion is often worn on the jersey sleeve, he was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. He has been quoted as saying, "Religion is the No. 1 thing in my life, along with my family.''
He doesn't attend team Mass with the rest of the Irish, but worships with his teammates at a non-denominational fellowship period on Fridays.
I wonder how religion can be his number 1 thing or whether it has slipped. I find it hard to believe that a college athelete, who has to study and make the grades and has to attend football practice is still going to be able to attend meetings, let alone do all the other JW stuff. Not joining the team mass is one thing but any interfaith, non-denominational or not is still a no-no to JWs. Besides JWs don't believe in praying for guidance and strength in football games, unless this has changed.

I guess for a baptized JW, Notre Dame is a better choice than Brigham Young.
