The country's top-ranked tight end recruit and No. 9 overall prospect reached a decision Wednesday night after weeks of weighing three finalists. Nauta will let everyone know those plans Saturday afternoon when he announces a commitment at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.
"I'm excited to get it off my chest," Nauta told Bleacher Report. "I'm ready to head to school and get this next chapter of my life started."
It's down to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs and Michigan Wolverines for the 6'3", 244-pound prospect. Head coaches Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and Jim Harbaugh will apparently wait until his in-game commitment just like the rest of us, as Nauta doesn't plan to contact any coaches until after the national television broadcast.
