Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star defensive back Houston Griffith is the latest class of 2018 recruit to commit to Notre Dame.

The 6-1, 192-pounder chose the Fighting Irish over the likes of Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Ohio State, Michigan, USC and many others.

Griffith had been committed to the Seminoles since Oct. 8, but changed his mind, de-committed, and opened up his recruiting process on Nov. 29. Things immediately started heating up between Notre Dame and the Under Armour All-American, which led to his pledge to the Fighting Irish less than one month later.

The Chicago-area native is coming back home to the midwest.

"The University of Notre Dame has a rich history in both high academics and high level football," said Griffith to 247Sports. "It’s an institution that continues to produce leaders and winners on and off the field and I want to be counted in those numbers. When I took a hard look and evaluated all of my options, when it was all said and done, Notre Dame checked off all of the boxes in what I’m looking for at the next level."

Per the 247Sports Composite rankings, Griffith is the No. 63 overall recruit in the country, No. 11 cornerback nationally and No. 14 prospect in Florida from the class of 2018.
