Notre Dame landed a commitment from quarterback Steve Angeli on Thursday evening. The four-star passer from Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic chose Notre Dame over LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Stanford and others.

When he gets outside of the pocket, he keeps his eyes downfield and can make throws whether he’s rolling out to his right or going across his body.
