NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Notre Dame IOL Billy Schrauth

Billy Schrauth is a well-proportioned, two-year starting right guard and team captain with solid athletic ability, good play strength and power. He consistently plays with flat-back posture and excellent leg drive.

Schrauth's 2025 tape showed meaningful growth before he suffered a sprained MCL. He has a quality interior backup profile with a realistic chance to push for a starting job within his first year or two in the NFL.

Schrauth is a 6'5", 310-pound guard who committed to Notre Dame as a 4-star recruit in the 2022 class.

Schrauth started 19 career games at left guard for the Irish, including seven games as a team captain in 2025 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury.

Where He Wins

— Loose, fluid mover out of his stance with good lateral quickness and redirect skills.

— Good play strength. Keeps his elbows connected to his hips through contact with excellent leg drive to close space and displace defenders as a drive-blocker.

— Takes efficient angles on climbs and screens with jolt in his hands to deliver knock-back power at the point of attack.

— Solid, effective anchor with sound technique. Throws his hips back and roots his feet to grind down the bull rush while keeping rushers at his fingertips.

Areas of Improvement

— Will chase setup moves and drift when isolated against skilled pass-rushers.

— Suffered ankle and knee injuries in each of his two seasons as a starter.
