Blue & Gold Illustrated football analyst Bryan Driskell:
“Eichenberg is a Zack Martin type player that combines excellent pass blocking potential with toughness in the run game. The St. Ignatius standout has an excellent frame with long arms and broad shoulders, giving him ideal length for tackle.
“Possessing good foot quickness, loose hips and strong lateral quickness, Eichenberg has the tools to be a left tackle at Notre Dame, but his power potential could allow him to play right tackle or guard should starting opportunities at those positions come open before left tackle.”
