Former Notre Dame football cornerbacks coach Todd Lyght did a fine job coaching the Fighting Irish defensive backs during his time at Notre Dame, but it is no secret that his shortcomings as a recruiter left Notre Dame in an undesirable situation filling out its depth chart over the last few seasons. Mike Mickens, in his second season on the job, and Marcus Freeman, just months onto the job, however, have completely turned things around and, after the recent commitment from Benjamin Morrison, are nearly finished completely overhauling the Notre Dame secondary with impressive recruiting.
Over the last two cycles (2021 and the current 2022 commitments), Notre Dame has a combined ten commitments/signees in the defensive secondary alone.
