PFF did an interview with Joe Alt last week to find out what makes him tick. I just want to pull out one excerpt (why he came to Notre Dame):

His dad’s alma mater, Iowa, offered him as a four-star recruit. However, he wanted to play for a different offensive line factory.

“I wanted to go to Notre Dame for three reasons,” Alt said. “First one was academics. I’ve always loved math and science which got me on the mechanical engineering track. I knew Notre Dame would challenge me the most academically. Second is my faith. I went to Catholic elementary, middle and high schools, so I wanted to continue that at a Catholic university. Finally, it was the tradition, both with the football program and with the offensive line. I wanted to be a part of that brotherhood.”

Another excerpt:
