Notre Dame football: 2023 coaching staff tracker

More movement on June 20…

Although it was anticipated to be a much slower off-season in terms of news for Notre Dame after Marcus Freeman’s first full year on the job, plenty of changes to the coaching staff have occurred.  It started with a famed graduate assistant returning to the Big Ten university he starred at as a player and quickly snowballed into a national search for a new offensive coordinator and much more.

As we count down the days until Notre Dame football officially gets going this fall, we look back at the departures and arrivals to Notre Dame’s coaching staff.

 

Veteran Notre Dame Offensive Tackle Show High Praise

Liam Eichenberg will be entering his third season as a starter for Notre Dame in 2020 and PFF sees big things for his future.

Liam Eichenberg took a leap last year at Notre Dame, turning into one of the better offensive tackles in the country.  He didn’t allow a sack all season long and although still not spectacular, his ability in the run game undoubtedly improved a significant margain.

Pro Football Focus has taken notice of Eichenberg who this weekend they called the fifth best offensive tackle prospect for the 2021 NFL Draft.

PFF Says of Eichenberg:

Eichenberg is an extremely solid, if unspectacular, tackle prospect. He saw his performance take a massive leap from his first to his second season as a starter. His pass-blocking grade went from 63.5 in 2018 to 85.6 last year and his run blocking grade from 60.8 to 78.8.

Eichenberg didn’t allow a sack last season but did account for 11 penalties, the most of any Notre Dame player.

Eliminate a few of those mental errors and continue to improve in the run game and you may be looking at one of the very best left tackles in all of college football when you watch Liam Eichenberg on Saturday’s in 2020.
