Notre Dame is set to welcome Chase Jones as a defensive analyst, according to sources close to FootballScoop and Irish Illustrated. Jones, a graduate of Wake Forest, brings a wealth of experience as a linebackers assistant coach, having served in that role for the past two years. This move comes as Notre Dame prepares for its fifth spring camp under the leadership of Head Coach Marcus Freeman. The addition of Jones is expected to bolster the team's defensive strategy, filling the void left by Jevaughn Codlin, who recently joined the North Texas safeties coaching staff. Jones will collaborate with the newly appointed linebackers coach, Brian Jean-Mary, who previously worked at Michigan. With a talented group of linebackers, including team captain Drayk Bowen and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Jones will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the team's performance. The spring ball season is set to commence on March 20th, marking an exciting phase in Notre Dame's athletic program.
