Earlier this summer, 4-star high school recruit Marlon Pollard had an extra day after a camp in Chicago. He and his mother decided to drive the 90 miles to see Notre Dame. Marlon was already committed to UCLA but always wanted to check out the university and the campus.

Hello ND and so long Westwood ! Pollard was so taken with the visit to Notre Dame that he switched his verbal commitment from the Bruins to the Irish and announced it on Monday.

Pollard is 6'1, 165 and will play at Cajon High School this coming fall. He's the second-highest ranked senior to commit to Notre Dame after fellow Californian, Cierre Wood.

Pollard is the 10th high school senior to verbally commit to ND
