In his lifetime Notre Dame alumnus Jerry McKenna has been a lot of things:  A student, a decorated war veteran and a sculptor.

Because of the latter, McKenna is now a Rockne Heritage Award Winner, the honor recognizing a life dedicated to the arts.

His works include over 200 sculptures worldwide and 25 sculptures on the Notre Dame campus, including the legendary coaches that guard the gates and Notre Dame Stadium.

ABC 57 Saturday Kickoff's Vahid Sadrzadeh had the privilege to take a stroll with the sculptor.
