- On Saturday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected former Notre Dame offensive guard Billy Schrauth with the 160th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, making him the fifth Fighting Irish player chosen this year.
- A team captain at Notre Dame, Schrauth earned All-American honors from the American Football Coaches Association after allowing just 3 sacks and 12 pressures across 720 career pass sets during his three-year collegiate career.
- Despite injury setbacks including a 2025 knee injury, Dane Brugler of The Athletic ranked Schrauth the seventh-best guard of the class, citing his versatility and high football IQ.
- Tampa Bay needed offensive line depth following Cody Mauch's 2025 knee injury and potential salary cap concerns with Ben Bredeson, so Schrauth provides competition for the interior lineup.
