Summary
From walk-on kicker to heart-saving doctor: Reggie Ho’s story is pure grit. In 1988, the five-foot-five Notre Dame kicker stunned the nation by nailing five field goals—including the game-winner against 7 Michigan—launching their national title run. But Ho’s legacy isn’t just on the gridiron. A pre-med student who became a cardiac electrophysiology specialist at Thomas Jefferson, he now saves lives with the same focus and calm he once brought to high-stakes kicks. His former teammate Ricky Watters credits him as the game’s hero, and Ho says his faith—prayed at the Grotto before games, now before procedures—keeps him grounded. His journey from clutch kicker to celebrated physician proves that determination, faith, and resilience can turn any challenge into triumph.
