Micah Dew-Treadway knew he
didn't need to go home and evaluate
his options following his June visit to
the Notre Dame campus. He had al-
ready seen enough.
The Bolingbrook, Ill., native made the
short trek to South Bend in early June
and instantly fell in love with every-
thing Notre Dame offered.
"My parents had a very, very great
experience, and so did I," he said. "We
talked it over [before talking to] Coach
[Brian] Kelly. He just said they feel I
can thrive here, and he'd like to lead
me here for four years and help me
become the man I want to be. That's
pretty much when the decision was
made."
Rated as the No. 31 strongside de-
fensive end nationally and the No. 9
prospect from Illinois by 247Sports,
the 6-5, 275-pound Dew-Treadway
had fielded offers from Bowling
Green, Connecticut, Indiana, Ken-
tucky, Maryland, Mississippi State,
New Mexico State, Purdue, Syracuse,
Virginia, Western Michigan and Wis-
consin.
