Notre Dame landed its top quarterback target on Tuesday, as the expected became reality when Duke transfer Riley Leonard announced on social media that he's committing to the Fighting Irish.
Leonard emerged as one of the top players and quarterbacks in the portal after back-to-back strong seasons at Duke, where his play led the Blue Devils to a pair of high-end seasons.
According to sources, there was a strong family pull that played a role in him choosing Notre Dame. Leonard's great grandfather, James E. Curran, played football for the Fighting Irish and was part of the Class of 1940.
