New Canaan (Conn.) high school four-star quarterback Drew Pyne, a top target from the class of 2020, pulled the trigger on Monday and committed to Notre Dame.

The 6-1, 172-pounder chose the Fighting Irish fresh off his unofficial visit to South Bend which, according to Pyne, couldn’t have gone better.

"When I was on campus on Thursday, it just felt like home,” said Pyne to 247Sports and Irish Illustrated on Sunday. “It has always been a lifelong dream to play at Notre Dame. I wanted to grow up and pretty much do what Brady Quinn did and when I visited and I got that feeling of it being home for me, I wanted to commit.”

During his visit, Pyne knew he was ready to end his recruitment. However, he wanted to take a day or two and make sure it was the right decision. He called quarterbacks coach Tom Rees, his primary recruiter, on Sunday and made it clear he was ready to be Irish.

“I told him that I was close to committed on the visit,” said Pyne. “I wanted to make sure it was the right decision and obviously it was. Coach Rees was very excited, as was coach Kelly. They can’t wait to get me on campus and we all have the same goal — spend the next few years trying to bring a National Championship to Notre Dame.”

Notre Dame made targeted only one quarterback in the 2020 class and got its man. Pyne has a bright future on and off the field and is excited about his future with the Fighting Irish.

“First, they’re a very good team and Coach Kelly is really driven to make them better and to push them to a national title," said Pyne, as he thought more about the reasons behind his decision. "Secondly, they play the national schedule and play on national television every single week. When I’m there, we will play teams like Ohio State and Wisconsin, which I would be very excited to play against. Also, Coach Rees is there and has had experience playing as a Notre Dame quarterback, which will be very helpful to me in my development. Coach Long has a very creative offensive scheme, which I’m looking forward to playing in. I’m looking forward to playing for Coach Kelly as well, as I believe he’s going to lead Notre Dame to a national title in the near future. Lastly, it is a world-class education. I want to study business in college and the Mendoza school of business is the No. 1 undergraduate business school in the nation.”

As a sophomore, Pyne completed 169 of 283 passes for 2,355 yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He ran for 273 yards and seven scores.

Per 247Sports, Pyne is the No. 220 overall recruit nationally, No. 7 pro-style quarterback in the country and No. 3 prospect in Connecticut from the class of 2020.
