Summary
Eli Raridon did not break into the starting lineup at Notre Dame until his senior season, but the wait paid off. Raridon finished with 32 catches for 482 yards while averaging 15.1 yards per reception. He is one of the few tight ends in this class capable of contributing as both an inline blocker and a receiver. While he is not dominant in either area, that well-rounded ability will be attractive to NFL teams.
