Notre Dame guard Billy Schrauth named to the 2025 Lombardi Award preseason Watch List
If Notre Dame is going to return to the College Football Playoff, strong offensive line play figures to be one key driving force. Recognized as one of the strongest units in the country, the O-Line is anchored by guard Billy Schrauth, who was named to the 2025 Lombardi Award preseason Watch List. Schrauth and the Fighting Irish offensive line have the luxury of facing one of the better defensive lines in the country every day in practice, so it comes as no surprise that this O-Line is prepared for the nation's best week in and week out. The Lombardi Award Committee's preseason list features 90 of the nation's top linemen and linebackers based on previous performances and potential for the coming season. This season's honorees include 18 defensive tackles, 17 defensive ends, 19 linebackers, 18 offensive tackles, 10 offensive guards (including Schrauth), 6 centers and 2 tight ends. Established in 1970 in memory of the legendary Vince Lombardi, the award is presented to outstanding linemen who best epitomize their values of leadership, courage, performance, and discipline on and off the field.
