Heading into Aamil Wagner’s announcement today, there was a widespread belief that the top-200 overall prospect would select Kentucky, where his brother is on the Wildcat staff. Wagner, the #134 overall ranked prospect in the country, surprised everyone though by selecting Notre Dame over Kentucky and Ohio State.
There are very few shockers in the recruiting world today, but this one certainly qualifies as one. No one saw a commitment for Notre Dame coming today with Wagner’s announcement, but that’s what we got. And a big commitment it is.
Wagner told 247Sports that he selected Notre Dame because the staff made it feel like family.
