Ronnie Stanley was a four star player out of high school who committed to Notre Dame for the 2012 season. After playing in just two games during his first season (in which the Fighting Irish played for a national title against Alabama), Stanley started all 13 games in 2013 was a part of an offensive line that allowed just eight sacks all season and featured future first round draft pick Zach Martin.
Stanley continued to stay in the starting lineup in 2014, allowing just one sack all season from the tackle position. Many experts thought Ronnie Stanley could have come out and be a first round pick last year, but he chose to return to South Bend for his senior season.
In 2015, Stanley was named a consensus All-American and stayed as one of the top offensive line prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft.
