When your team is referred to as *insert position here* U, it’s often for good reason. Given the recent history of the position in South Bend, it’s no surprise Notre Dame has been called Tight End U.
In the last few years alone, Notre Dame greats like Tyler Eifert, Kyle Rudolph and John Carlson just to name a few have taken the field at the tight end spot.
It’s been one of the better position groups as a whole, especially in the Kelly era. It’s in a little bit of a slump at the moment, but it’s hard to see that trend continuing.
