The 6’4, 306 lb senior finished 2012 with 40 tackles, six sacks, and 8.5 tackles for a loss, and also served as a team captain this past year. He finishes his career in South Bend with 12 sacks.
Lewis-Moore was an important part of a Notre Dame defense that finished the season among the leaders in almost every major defensive category. The Irish finished second in the nation in scoring defense (12.8 points/game), 11th in rushing defense (105.69 yards/game), 25th in pass defense (199.8 yards/game), and seventh in total defense (305.5 yards/game), and those numbers include what Alabama did in the title game.
