Title/Alt TextIrish247 has learned that Pittsburgh (Pa.) Central Catholic four-star linebacker David Adams has committed to Notre Dame.

The 6-1, 225-pounder chose the Irish over offers from Florida, Pittsburgh, Penn State, Cincinnati, Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, Stanford and others.

When Notre Dame offered back on Sept. 23, it was clearly a big offer for the top talent. He visited in the fall and the Irish made a major move for his services. However, Notre Dame truly sealed the deal this weekend during his Junior Day visit to campus.

"The highlights were all the time I spent with the coaches," Adams told 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong. "Had some really good time with Coach (Brian) Kelly, Coach (Brian) Vangorder and Coach (Mike) Elston."

Adams found his home in South Bend this weekend. It wasn't an easy decision to choose the Irish over the two in-state schools, Penn State and Pittsburgh, but it's one he felt he needed to make for his future.

“First off I would like to thank God for all the amazing opportunities he’s blessed me with," said Adams. "I would like to thank my family for supporting me through thick and thin. I would like to thank my coaches and teammates for making me the player I am today. I would like to thank all of my friends for the endless support. And also I would like to thank every single coach that has recruited me. I’ve made so many great relationships and couldn’t thank every coach enough. But, after a lot of consideration, I would like to announce my commitment to the University of Notre Dame.”

Per the 247Sports Composite rankings, Adams is the No. 105 overall player in the country, No. 4 inside linebacker nationally and No. 4 recruit in Pennsylvania from the class of 2017.
