Drake C. Dunsmore (born November 4, 1988) is a former American football Tight End of the National Football League (NFL). Dunsmore attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School. During college he played for Northwestern. At Northwestern, he was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten Performer and the inaugural Big Ten Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year for the 2011 Northwestern Wildcats when he was a first team All-Big Ten Conference selection. Dunsmore was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection for the 2010 Wildcats. He holds the Northwestern single-game receiving touchdowns record and the career tight end receiving yards record.

2007–08

Dunsmore was one of two Northwestern true freshmen to play for the 2007 Northwestern Wildcats. He had a pair of 35-yard receptions against Duke on September 15, 2007. He was named to the 2007 Sporting News Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Dunsmore redshirted for the 2008 Big Ten Conference football season after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament on the fifth day of practice during his sophomore year.

2009

On September 19, 2009, Dunsmore had a 10-reception, 90-yard effort against Syracuse Orange, including a 22-yard touchdown.

In the January 1, 2010 Outback Bowl, he tallied 120 yards receiving on 9 receptions as part of Mike Kafka's 532-yard passing effort against Auburn Tigers. The 66-yard Kafka to Dunsmore touchdown is the longest passing touchdown in Northwestern bowl game history. He was the second leading receiver among Big Ten tight ends (behind Garrett Graham) for the 2009 Big Ten Conference football season although he only started 7 of 13 games in 2009.
