Due to in-state advantage, both the Aggies and Texas Longhorns were hoping to sway Finley to staying close to home. However, Notre Dame was always the school to beat in this battle. USC managed to flip Feaster away from staying at home as Texas A&M was the longtime leader in this race.

Four-star wide receiver Kaydon Finley from Aledo, Texas, committed to Notre Dame on Friday night. According to On3.com, Finley is the 120th-ranked player in the country.

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman and his staff have made it a habit of landing commitments from the sons of former NFL standouts. A few years ago, it was Kennedy Urlacher, the son of Chicago Bears legend Brian Urlacher. Last year, the Fighting Irish signed Eijah Burress, the son of former New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress.
