Drue Tranquill – Linebacker, Notre Dame

At 24 years old and having suffered multiple ACL tears, not many people thought Drue Tranquill would prove to be much of an athlete. He showed otherwise testing great all around and proved he’s still got plenty of athleticism left despite the injuries.

Medicals are going to be huge for him, but in an extremely weak linebacker class, the athletic upside of Tranquill will intrigue teams. He is a converted safety, so he is still learning the position but if Tranquill is able to remain healthy like he’s been that last two years he has the chance to be a productive pro.

It is also great to see him fight back from his multiple injuries and have the opportunity to live out his dream.
