Defensive tackle Brayden Parks has made his decision on where to attend college. He will be suiting up for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish instead playing for the Oregon Ducks. Oregon was the other school in line for his services.
Parks is coming from Brother Rice in Chicago. The class of 2027 recruit is a 6-foot-3, 305 pound DT who is currently ranked 199 overall on 247 Sports Composite Ranking. The four-star Parks has been a major target for Notre Dame and Fighting Irish head coach Marcus Freeman.
With the decision, Parks will help Notre Dame continue to have one of the more dominant defenses in college football.
