According to sources connected to the situation, Irish Illustrated has learned that Notre Dame is expected to name Chansi Stuckey its next receivers coach. Stuckey joined the Baylor coaching staff as its receivers coach ahead of the 2021 season and is expected to head to South Bend to join the Fighting Irish staff under head coach Marcus Freeman.
The news was first reported by Pete Sampson of The Athletic.
In talking to sources connected here, Stuckey “is the next big name” at the position and “will be a rockstar on the field and in recruiting” at Notre Dame.
Stuckey joined the Baylor coaching staff following a stellar 2020 season at Clemson where he helped his alma mater win the 2020 ACC Championship and earn its sixth consecutive College Football Playoff berth. He spent two seasons on staff at Clemson, most recently in an offensive player development role during 2020 and as a graduate assistant in 2019.
Stuckey starred at quarterback and wide receiver for the Tigers from 2003-06. The 2006 first-team All-ACC selection finished his career with 141 career receptions for 1,760 yards and seven touchdowns.
Following his Clemson career, Stuckey spent five seasons in the NFL from 2007-11 with the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals after being selected in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
A native of Warner Robins, Ga., Stuckey graduated from Clemson in 2006 with a degree in management. He and his wife, Summer, have a son, Aiden.
