Grady Eifert 2024-25 Men's Basketball Staff

A Fort Wayne, Indiana, native and former Purdue student-athlete and graduate assistant, Grady Eifert joined Shrewsberry’s staff ahead of the 2023-24 season. Eifert, who served as a video coordinator in both years at Penn State under Shrewsberry, will now serve as Development & Recruiting Coordinator at Notre Dame. He kickstarts year two with the Irish for the 2024-25 season.

Prior to following Shrewsberry to Penn State, Eifert spent the previous two seasons on staff at Purdue as a graduate assistant.  His role included opponent scouting, film breakdown and helping with individual workouts and administrative duties.

As a student-athlete, Eifert arrived at Purdue as a freshman walk-on before earning a scholarship as a sophomore and working his way to starting all 36 games as a senior for a Purdue squad that advanced the Elite Eight in his senior season. Eifert shot over 50.0 percent from the field during his senior season, a team-best 43.8 percent from three-point range and boasted an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.11 while leading the country in offensive rating. Eifert helped the Boilermakers to a pair of Big Ten championships in 2017 and 2019.

Eifert was named Purdue’s recipient of the 2019 Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award, the team’s Courage Award and Mr. Hustle Award. He earned a bachelor’s degree in selling and sales management from Purdue in 2019 and a master’s degree in organizational leadership and supervision in 2021.
