Nazareth Academy alum Julian Love, Class of 2016, won back-to-back IHSA state football championships with the Roadrunners his junior and senior seasons. Almost 10 years after he graduated, Love once again experienced that championship feeling as he helped the Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl LX over the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, Feb. 8.
Love, a free safety, had one of the game’s biggest plays. His 38-yard interception return of a Drake Maye pass in the fourth quarter all but ended any hopes of a late New England rally. In addition to his interception, Love had 2.5 tackles for the Seahawks.
Patriots’ linebacker and Fenwick High School alum Robert Spillane, Class of 2014, overcame an ankle injury to play in Super Bowl LX. He posted 2.5 tackles.
