2011 Big Ten TE of the Year with Record-Breaking 4-TD Game
Drake Dunsmore, Northwestern's 2011 Big Ten Tight End of the Year, differentiates himself with explosive playmaking—setting a school record with four touchdown receptions in a single game against Indiana and ranking among the nation's top tight ends with six TDs that season. Beyond stats, he's known for relentless intensity, clutch performance in high-stakes games, and a team-first personality that elevated the entire offense. Though he faced no major injury history, his 45 catches and 522 yards in 2011 reflect consistent reliability. He was an honorable mention All-Big Ten in 2010 and earned 7th-round NFL Draft selection in 2012. For any team seeking a high-intensity, big-play TE with proven leadership and Big Ten dominance, Dunsmore is a top-tier fit.
