Like his National Football League-veteran father, Pat, Drake Dunsmore never played organized football before high school. He was a 2005 honorable mention All-Class 5A State selection as a junior. He was a 2006 first team All-Class 5A State selection and third team All-State selection as a senior. Dunsmore was the 20th rated tight end in the national high school class of 2007 according to ESPN and the 15th rated football player in the 2007 class in the state of Kansas according to Rivals.com. He earned three varsity letters in track and two in baseball. Dunsmore chose Northwestern over competing football scholarships from Arizona State, Kansas State, Tulsa and Colorado State for a variety of reasons, including academics, the coaching staff and the fact that two aunts and a grandmother reside close to campus. He declined his invitation to participate in the August 3, 2007, Kansas Shrine Bowl due to his ongoing rehabilitation.
