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.
