Notre Dame has made a hire to enhance its defensive staff. 

Multiple sources tell ISD that Chase Jones will join Marcus Freeman’s staff after spending two years as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Wake Forest. 

John Brice was the first to report. 

The former two-time Demon Deacon captain appeared in 41 games and registered 208 tackles and 13 tackles for loss. Jones was also named an academic All-ACC member multiple times.

In fact, Jones holds a degree in Finance and a master’s in Financial Technology and Analytics from Wake Forest. 

Jones is expected to replace Jevaughn Codlin, who left the program to become the safeties coach at North Texas.
