Former Notre Dame defender set to coach defense, safeties at Boise State

Former Irish defender moving up the ranks!

Former Notre Dame defensive lineman Tyler Stockton has been making a name for himself in coaching since his playing days ended.

Stockton played on Notre Dame’s defensive line from 2009-2013.  From there he joined the UConn coaching staff for two seasons as a graduate assistant before being hired and spending three years at Western Illinois.

Stockton has been coaching at Ball State since 2019.  He took over calling the Cardinals defense in 2020 and helped them to their first MAC championship in 14 years that season.

Stockton again led stellar defensive units at Ball State the last three seasons and had been promoted to assistant head coach.  Stockton has coached his last down in Muncie however and is on his way to Boise State.

At Boise State he’s set to be the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach starting next season.

Congrats on the success so far and all the best wishes for more of it on the blue turf!
