Notre Dame football paid tribute to longtime broadcaster Dan Hicks during their Saturday game against Boston College. The university arranged a memorial in the press box featuring a bouquet of flowers, a card, and a photograph of Hicks with his wife, ESPN broadcaster Hannah Storm. Hicks, who served as NBC's lead play-by-play voice for Notre Dame football from 2013 to 2016 before returning in 2024, passed away at 64 following an acute illness.
His absence was felt during the broadcast, with Jason Benetti and Jason Garrett taking time to remember their colleague. Benetti expressed feeling "very hollow" in the booth, while Garrett praised Hicks for his generosity and devotion to others. The NBC crew also visited Notre Dame's Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes to light a candle and pray for Hicks and his family.
