The official early signing period is upon us and Notre Dame has their first official signee in the 2020 recruiting class. It came across bright and early (OK, not so bright seeing as it’s going to be dark for another 5 hours in South Bend as I type this) as Alexander Ehrensberger, defensive end from Dusseldorf, Germany has signed his letter of intent.
Signing day can officially begin at 7 AM local time so Ehrensberger was the first to officially sign this year and by a distant margin.
The 6-7, 238 pound defensive end has some filling out to do but has incredible height and more importantly, reach as you can see in his senior highlight tape.

247Sports lists Ehrensberger as a three-star prospect who also had an offer from Florida International University while displaying interest in Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio State.
We couldn't be more excited to welome @Ehrensberger_, Anne, Sebastian, Constantin and Carolin to our family. #GraduatingChampions https://t.co/dZBMGhrLIg

Assistant coaches Mike Elston and Clark Lea played a large part in Ehrensberger’s recruitment.
