Four-star LB Ellis Brooks commits to Duke over Notre Dame
Four-star linebacker prospect Ellis Brooks of Benedictine High School (Va.) has committed to Duke, he announced on Twitter.
“I have a great relationship with the coaches and players,” Brooks tells Scout.com. “It’s also a great school academically. And I was their top target and they wanted me more than anyone else. It just feels like home and I feel the most comfortable there. “I’m very excited about my decision. The recruiting process is fun and I’m thankful for all the opportunities, but it can be stressful. Now, I can just focus on football and winning another state championship.”

Michigan, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech were also being considered before the 6'1", 225-pound star chose to join David Cutcliffe's squad in Durham.
