Jeff Burris is returning to Notre Dame, joining Brian Kelly’s coaching staff. The former consensus All-American, first-round draft pick and NFL veteran becomes the latest former Notre Dame star to return to campus and work under Brian Kelly.
The news had been rumored for a few months, but finally confirmed by the football program on Friday. Burris joins former Irish players Todd Lyght and Autry Denson in the coaching ranks, while Ron Powlus works in player development and David Grimes is an assistant strength and conditioning coach.
Burris is a South Carolina native who spent 10 years in the NFL after his Notre Dame career.
