Gregory Patrick made countless recruiting visits to Notre Dame, Michigan and Michigan State. All those trips informed the decision the four-star offensive tackle made Sunday when he announced his verbal commitment to the Irish.
"It really came down to the people and the culture," Patrick told Inside ND Sports. "Obviously, they compete at the highest level and produce great offensive linemen."
Patrick, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound junior at Portage (Mich.) Northern, came to his commitment conclusion following his most recent visit to Notre Dame earlier this month.
