Tyler Eifert (6-5, 215), Tight end (Fort Wayne, Ind./Bishop Dwenger)
Reminiscent of Indianapolis Colts TE Dallas Clark, Eifert may be falling under the national radar because he is a tweener currently lacking the great bulk to project well as an in-line tight end and the speed to create consistent separation as a college wide receiver.

Tweener or not, this kid is a darn athletic tight end with a great set of hands and a knack for getting open. He was an extremely difficult matchup for some of the camp's better linebackers during one-on-one passing drills and just showed a knack for creating separation and making the difficult grab. The most exciting part about this kid is his potential for physical development. He looked a shade under his listed height of 6-foot-5 but has a long frame with broad shoulders. He should see his 220 pounds quickly become 250 once he attacks a fulltime college weight training program. He might not possess prototypical TE measurables but could use that to his favor if a team decides to use him creatively as an H-back.

From the ND site. Notre Dame offered after a strong showing at camp this week. Eifert has stated that a Notre Dame offer put them at the top of his list, but says he wants to take his time and talk things over with his parents. He will decide before his senior year.

From the ND site. Committed to Notre Dame. Tyler said he knew he always wanted to be Irish, and thought about giving a verbal on the spot. He notes the coaches and tradition as just a few of the reasons he picked Notre Dame.
