Notre Dame football hires new director of scouting

There was just one more open spot on the Notre Dame football staff, director of scouting.

Head coach Marcus Freeman knows how important the position is, which is why he took his time to name Matt Jansen as the newest Irish staff member. Notre Dame poached Jansen from West Virginia, where he held the position of director of player personnel and scouting.

His duties will be a bit different in South Bend, more of a focus on the scouting aspect. Jensen has been in the coaching industry since 2006, starting as a student assistant coach at Texas Tech. He’s had stints in the NFL with two different team before landing at WVU in 2019.
