Notre Dame TE Rudolph declares for draft

Updated Jan 5, 2011 12:00 PM
South Bend, IN (Sports Network) - Notre Dame tight end Kyle Rudolph will skip his final season of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft.
Rudolph caught 28 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns in six games for the Irish this past season. He had hamstring surgery and missed the last seven games, including Notre Dame's 33-17 win over Miami-Florida in the Sun Bowl.
A junior, Rudolph leaves Notre Dame ranked No. 4 on the school's all-time receptions (90) and receiving yards (1,032) list for tight ends. He scored eight touchdowns and started 28 of the 29 games he played.
Rudolph called the decision to leave school very tough, but said it has been a dream of his to play in the NFL.
"I truly feel blessed for the last three years of my life at Notre Dame. It has been a great experience I wouldn't trade for anything and wish everyone could experience something like this just once in his or her life," he said in a statement.
Rudolph aggravated his hamstring injury October 9 in a win over Pittsburgh, tearing tendons off the bone.
