About Mills Updated Jul 26, 2026

Rylie Mills is a disruptive, high-motor Notre Dame DL with NFL-ready power and leadership

In his 2024 season at Notre Dame, Rylie Mills emerged as one of the Irish’s most reliable front-seven anchors, leading the team with 7.5 sacks and earning second-team All-America honors from ESPN and Sporting News. At 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds, he stands out for his blend of size, strength, and technical discipline, and he also brings captain-level leadership and a reputation for toughness. His one notable red flag is a knee injury that limited him in the College Football Playoff, so teams should value him as a polished, physical defender with impact upside when healthy.
