Notre Dame Football: Pair of Irish named to CFN’s Top 50 list

A pair of Notre Dame players showed up on the CFN Top 50 players list entering 2020. Who didn’t make the cut that’s the surprise, though.

College Football News on Eichenberg:

No, he might not be the best of the recent lot of star Notre Dame blockers, but the 6-6, 305-pounder should be an early first round pick as someone’s left tackle. He didn’t give up a sack last year.

Our thought:

I don’t know about early first round pick but if I had to make a guess as to which Notre Dame player has the best chance to have his name called in the first round in 2021 it’d be Eichenberg by a nose over Owusu-Koramoah.  That said, as things currently sit I’d guess that if either do that it’d be in the final few picks of round one.

Eichenberg is a beast, however him and the offensive line as a whole I think I speak for most Notre Dame fans when I say I’d like to see the run blocking take a step to meet the pass blocking ability of almost all on the unit.
