Notre Dame coach Mike Mickens to be inducted into Cincinnati Athletics 2025 Hall of Fame
It's been a notable offseason for Notre Dame, from great success on the recruiting trail to various preseason honors, and the Fighting Irish can add one more accolade to the group.
Defensive backs coach Mike Mickens has been named one of six inductees into the University of Cincinnati's Athletics 2025 Hall of Fame class. It's a big honor for the former Bearcats cornerback.
Mickens was a first-team FWAA All-American In 2007 and a four-time all-Big East selection who remains the program's career leader in interceptions with 14. He starred for the Bearcats from 2005-08, appearing in 47 games under Mark Dantonio and former Fighting Irish boss Brian Kelly.
In addition to his record for picks, he recorded 234 tackles (nine for a loss), a sack and a forced fumble. Three of his interceptions were also returned for touchdowns.
