Team morale is high for the Drake Bulldogs rushing into the 2017 football season. Last season, the Bulldogs finished 7-4 overall (6-2 in the Pioneer Football League). Dayton and San Diego were the team’s only two conference losses.
Eric Saubert, standing at an imposing six-foot-five-inches, dominated the PFL at tight end during his time at Drake after being recruited from Chicago. After an outstanding senior year, he earned the honor of being drafted by the Falcons with the 174th pick in the fifth round of the 2017 draft. Last season was an extraordinary season for the Bulldogs.
