Marcus Freeman’s staff moves continue to turn heads at Notre Dame. Earlier this year, he brought in a 28-year-old coaching prospect already listed among 247Sports’ “Top 30 Coaches Under 30.” And what was his role at Notre Dame? After building his resume in the Big 12, the young assistant joined the Irish as a defensive line analyst. But just months into his South Bend chapter, he’s charting a new path, proving his coaching journey is moving as quickly as his rise in reputation. But the new chapter isn’t about football; it’s about life.

Notre Dame assistant coach Jevaughn Codlin exchanged his playbook for a proposal, announcing his engagement in an unforgettable way. On September 25, he shared on X, writing, “Can’t wait to spend forever with you! Let’s get married ❤️.” And the moment was picture-perfect: both dressed in white, standing in front of a glowing “Marry Me” sign that lit up the night. Looks like a new season awaits, both on the field and in love. But those pictures speak louder than words. Each frame captures more than just a proposal.

One moment said it all: he’s down on one knee, ring in hand, and she’s glowing with joy as the sun sets behind them. In addition, the beach is peaceful, with soft waves and a distant lighthouse. It feels like the world stopped just for them. And in another photo, she proudly shows off her sparkling ring. But the most heartwarming shot? The two standing barefoot by the water, waves brushing their toes, wrapped in a love that feels as endless as the ocean. Now, without any prior hint, such an announcement leaves CFB fans stunned. And why not?

Jevaughn Codlin is quickly proving himself as one of Notre Dame’s most valuable recruiters. Hired in February as an analyst and assistant D-line coach, he’s wasted no time making an impact. Codlin played a major role in landing four-star DB Ayden Pouncey, who called him “like a big brother and mentor,” while other top prospects praised his energy, relatability, and constant communication. From the 2026 class to early 2027 targets, recruits say “Coach Cod brings the juice,” making him a rising force in Notre Dame’s recruiting success. That’s why when news of his wedding broke on social media, congratulations poured in for the Notre Dame coach, with fans amazed by the stunning photo shoot.

Notre Dame coach update wows fans

At this point in the season, with Notre Dame (1‑2) set to face Arkansas (2‑2), some fans worry personal news might distract the coach from the field. That’s why one concerned fan wrote, “Congrats, coach—but don’t let her steal your focus from the team lol. Congrats again!” Another kept it simple, stating, “Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉” And that was only the start; following that, more congrats kept pouring in.

One fan went all out, saying, “YEAHHHHHHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Congrats, Fam!” But another couldn’t stop praising the stunning visuals: “Awesome pictures, my friend. Congratulations!” Honestly, the white outfits and sunset backdrop clearly stole the show. On top of that, their bond shines through in the photos, sparking fans’ reactions.

Finally, one fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “Go get married! ☘️💪🏻.” So, the excitement, the love, and the photos: it all had fans buzzing. Now, while the Notre Dame coach stunned fans with his wedding announcement, they expect a show-stopping game tomorrow against the Jayhawks.
