Notre Dame received its 7th commitment - and 2nd from an elite Buckeye State offensive tackle - in the 2016 recruiting class today when Liam Eichenberg pledged to the Irish. Eichenberg is listed at 6'6" and 290 pounds; the 247 Composite has him as the #83 overall player, #11 offensive tackle, and #7 player in Ohio. Eichenberg was one of Urban Meyer's prime targets, and also holds offers from Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
Eichenberg, from St. Ignatius in Cleveland, joins Tommy Kraemer (#25 overall / #3 OT), from Elder in Cincinnati, as top-tier Irish offensive line commits who share a home state and status as a top-of-the-board target for Meyer.
