This summer has been one of excitement for Drake Football. Between accolades for players and one individual being scouted for the NFL, it’s been quite the sight for the coaching staff and the team as a whole.

Just about 20 NFL teams have been to Drake Stadium over the course of the last month to take a look at fifth-year senior Eric Saubert.

“It’s pretty surreal,” Saubert said. “I’m just excited and blessed.”

Saubert is a tight end for the Bulldogs. He is 6-foot-5 and weighs in at right around 250 pounds, a player of exceptional ability, whose 40-yard dash is under the 4.
