You will find John Tillitski is the Notre Dame Summer 1944 Student Directory

John Edgar Tillitski Canton, Ohio St John’s HS…..PE Major…lived in Carroll Hall



if you google Notre Dame digital archives, you’ll find all the old ND student directories

And yes, Leahy told many returning vets that they were unlikely to make the 1946 ND team IF they came back to ND…..many, like your Mom’s uncle played elsewhere after the war

Leahy had 22 returned vets who had ALREADY been selected in NFL drafts, come back to ND and play on the 46 National Champs rather than turn pro
