Eichorn played 590 snaps and started eight games for the Weber State offensive line last season as a redshirt freshman. Before his time at Weber State, Eichorn prepped at Beaver High School in Beaver, Utah. He was the 2A MVP as a senior and he led his team to two state championships in the 2A classification.

Eichorn is the fifth offensive line transfer that BYU has added since the end of last season. The Cougars have added Missouri State transfer Ian Fitzgerald, Utah State transfer Weylin Lapuaho, Utah transfer Paul Maile, and Oklahoma State transfer Caleb Etienne to the offensive line room for the 2023 season. Eichorn's  has more eligibility (three years remaining) than most of the previously added transfers. Fitzgerald and Maile only have one year remaining. Etienne has two years remaining, and Lapuaho has three years remaining. Eichorn will provide depth in 2023 and he will have time to develop and compete for a starting spot in the future.

In total, Eichorn is the 15th transfer that BYU has added to the 2023 roster.
