Like varsity letterman jackets, standout tight ends have proven to be of abundance at the University of Notre Dame. First it was superstar Anthony Fasano, then John Carlson leading the way for what is becoming "Tight-End U." Now it’s sophomore Kyle Rudolph’s turn. And he might be the best one yet.

It took very little time for Rudolph to make his presence felt for the Irish last season. He established himself quicker than a mosquito bite.

Rudolph ended up re-writing most of the freshman tight end records: first player to start every game (13), total receptions (29) and receiving yards (340) in a season.

He was once Notre Dame’s best kept secret, now he’s marked with the proverbial X in opposing locker rooms. But don’t tell that to the humble Ohioan.
