Starting under Brian Kelly and continuing through the Marcus Freeman era, Notre Dame football has developed a knack for producing NFL-level, pass-catching tight ends. Despite numerous setbacks and injuries early in his time in South Bend, it appears that Eli Raridon is next in line for Notre Dame tight end glory. As the second-ranked tight end in the national recruiting class of 2022, Raridon had his choice of where to take his talents. Every so-called “Tight End U” wanted him, from the local Iowa Hawkeyes to the SEC’s Auburn Tigers. Raridon has been through this staggering disappointment in each of his first three seasons at Notre Dame.
