KeiVarae Russell Picks Notre Dame Over Washington

Kiel had originally committed to Indiana over the summer, before decommitting. He then took trips to Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and LSU. Kiel ultimately ended up committing to LSU in December.

Internet rumors began swirling after Kiel failed to show up for a meeting for January-enrollees at LSU.

Yuri Wright is arguably the top cornerback prospect in the country. Out of New Jersey’s Don Bosco Prep, he’s received offers from most of the top BCS schools in the country. And it’s easy to see why. Wright has elite size at 6’2” and 180 pounds, can press receivers, and drives on the ball well. Yet he is still able to turn and run.

Wright visited Notre Dame on December 16th, and was complimentary of the visit. At that time, Notre Dame held a commitment from Maryland cornerback Ronald Darby. Darby has since decommitted and is considering Florida State and Clemson, among others.
