Druze, then nicknamed “Tarzan”, was a member of Fordham's infamous “Seven Blocks of Granite”, which included the legendary Green Bay Packers head coach, Vince Lombardi.

Druze played for the National Football League's Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938, then became an assistant to Coach Frank Leahy at Boston College. Leahy had coached the Seven Blocks of Granite as an aide to Fordham's head coach, Jim Crowley, one of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen.

When Leahy became the Notre Dame head coach in 1941, Druze joined him as an assistant, and he became a mentor to Leon Hart, an end who won the 1949 Heisman Trophy.

Druze then left the Notre Dame assistant coach position to run Marquette's football program for the 1956 season. He would serve as head coach until 1958.

He passed away on December 29, 2005 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
