It is not Florida State and it is not Georgia — two schools Robert Beal has had high on his list for a long time, but it is Notre Dame for one of the top juniors in the country.

Beal made the call just seconds ago over the phone when he spoke with Notre Dame defensive coordinator Brian Van Gorder.

The Irish coach was just down in Georgia a couple of weeks ago to check on the 6-foot-4, 220 pound star junior out of Norcross (Ga.). Beal chose Notre Dame over 20 other schools and the Irish landed a future star.

Beal is currently the No. 10-ranked defensive end and No. 119 overall prospect on Scout.

This decision was made earlier than some expected, but his grandmother lives in South Bend, Notre Dame is his dream school, he loves the coaches, and the school is overall right for him.

The four-star junior has already visited Notre Dame three times.
