Add another one to the “Tight End U” ledger. Notre Dame has now produced eight NFL draft picks at tight end during Brian Kelly’s 11 years as head coach and 10 since Anthony Fasano was selected in the second round in 2006. Tommy Tremble did not quite match that, but the former Irish tight end was picked No. 83 overall in the third round of the draft by the Carolina Panthers on Friday.
Suffice it to say, Tremble made a smart decision in bypassing his remaining eligibility, a decision he made in January after catching 19 passes for 218 yards last season.
