Billy Schrauth highlights

Schrauth started his final two seasons with the Fighting Irish, though his 2025 campaign was cut short after seven games due to a knee injury. The injury didn’t hurt his stock when it came to postseason honors as the American Football Coaches Association named him a second-team All-American. He was team captain in ’25 and left college with one year of eligibility remaining.
