Five-star QB Phil Jurkovec commits to Notre Dame

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program received some great news this week, with five-star quarterback Phil Jurkovec announcing his commitment to Brian Kelly’s team. Jurkovec is currently ranked as the top dual-threat quarterback in the Class of 2018.

247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong reported Jurkovec made his commitment during a visit to South Bend.

“I came up here with the intent of committing,” Jurkovec said. “It’s the right fit for me. The whole education of Notre Dame from the books to the spirituality, the whole university and everything that it offers—I just fell in love with it.”

Jurkovec also had offers from programs like Alabama and Ohio State, so this was a major get for the Fighting Irish.

While Jurkovec is currently committed to Notre Dame, there is still plenty of time until the high schooler signs his National Letter of Intent. So, don’t expect coaches like Nick Saban or Urban Meyer to go down without a fight.
