Four-star junior cornerback K.J. Wallace told Irish Illustrated that when he returned home to Atlanta on Sunday following a Junior Day stop in South Bend that he called Notre Dame cornerbacks coach Todd Lyght to make a commitment.

“I just committed to Notre Dame,” Wallace said. “I called coach Lyght and he said he will get me in touch with coach (Brian Kelly) later.”

Wallace attended Notre Dame’s Junior Day on Saturday, loved the campus, the facilities, and the direction the program is headed.

The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Atlanta prospect from the Lovett School is a close friend of Notre Dame 2018 safety signee Derrik Allen. As a result, Wallace went into his visit with plenty of knowledge of what the program has in store.

During his stay in South Bend there was plenty of buzz regarding the four-star corner. That buzz turned out to be legitimate.

Wallace chose the Irish over offers from Auburn, Boston College, Duke, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, Penn State, South Carolina, Stanford, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.

This fall, Wallace put up great numbers, including 63 total tackles, 2 ½ tackles for loss, one interception, 11 pass breakups, 718 yards of total offense, scoring ten touchdowns.

The Irish now have three total 2019 commitments in Wallace, defensive tackle Jacob Lacey and quarterback Cade McNamara.
