The three-star safety D.J. Morgan committed to Notre Dame during his official visit earlier this month but waited until Sunday to announce.
D.J. Morgan wanted to do something special to honor his late friend David Aguilar, who died in January 2006. Aguilar would have turned 17 on Sunday.
Morgan decided he would use that date to publicly announce a verbal commitment he gave to Notre Dame back on Sept. 6. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound athlete from St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, Calif., becomes the 15th commitment in the Irish class and third at safety, a need position.
