A student from the University of Notre Dame is set to compete in the 2022 “Jeopardy!” National College Championship. Matt Downing, a senior from New York, will be among 36 college students vying for a $250,000 grand prize on the game show.

Downing’s on-air appearance is scheduled for February 10.

Downing is majoring in marketing as well as applied and computational mathematics and statistics. Notre Dame says he is involved in a variety of organizations, including Camp Kesem, the Student International Business Council and the men’s boxing club.

He interned with UPS in 2020 and KPMG in 2021, which is where he plans to work after graduation.
