Rocket-armed quarterback declares his intentions to head to South Bend.



Brandon Wimbush has decommitted from Penn State and announced his commitment to Notre Dame, according to 247Sports.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior quarterback from St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) visited South Bend over the weekend. He originally committed to Penn State in May.

Wimbush is a huge addition to a Notre Dame recruiting class that lacked a quarterback following the decommitment of California signal caller Blake Barnett.



Wimbush has enjoyed a superb senior campaign thus far, throwing 1,112 yards and 12 touchdowns in just four games. He's rushed for an additional three scores.

According to the 247Composite, Wimbush is the nation's No. 4 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 70 recruit overall.
