Alt plays tight end at Totino-Grace North Oaks High School in Minneapolis but will transition to offensive tackle in college. 247Sports ranks Alt as a three-star talent and a top 35 tackle in the 2021 class, nationally.
Alt chose Notre Dame over the likes of Iowa, where his father attended, Minnesota, Northwestern and a few others who had offered.
Alt becomes the 12th commitment for Notre Dame in 2021 and the third offensive lineman, joining tackle Blake Fisher and guard Pat Coogan.
As always, Kelly quickly sent out his bat signal on Twitter after landing the commitment.
