Notre Dame hires Jevaughn Codlin as defensive analyst

Jevaughn Codlin, a former assistant coach at West Virginia University, has been hired by Notre Dame as a defensive analyst. Codlin, who was instrumental in recruiting and player development at WVU, particularly for Consensus All-American Beanie Bishop, is expected to collaborate closely with the Irish's defensive backs coaches and new defensive coordinator Chris Ash. His coaching career began in 2022 at Emporia State, before he joined WVU as a graduate assistant. Codlin's hiring is seen positively within the college football community, with many believing he could become a significant asset for Notre Dame's program. This move marks a trend of former WVU staff finding new opportunities at major programs, showcasing the coaching talent cultivated under Neal Brown. Notre Dame continues to strengthen its coaching staff, despite facing challenges in other recruitment efforts.
