Notre Dame received great news on Friday as four-star high school senior Jayden Thomas announced his commitment to the University.

Thomas joins a Notre Dame class that is fighting to be among the top ten in the nation in 2021 and a class of receivers that is shaping up to be very special as Thomas joins Deion Colzie and Lorenzo Styles, Jr. as four-star commitments are the wide receiver position.

Thomas is listed at 6-1, 205 pounds and attends Pace Academy in Atlanta. He’s the second four-star receiver to commit to Notre Dame in a week as Deion Colzie of Athens re-committed to the Irish just days ago.

The commitment brings Notre Dame’s total to 19 in the 2021 class as it nears completion.

Thomas is also a fantastic baseball player and will join the likes of Torii Hunter, Jr., Cole Kmet, Jeff Samardzija, Golden Tate and several others who have played both football and baseball at Notre Dame.
