Davonte Neal, the top "un-signed" high school football prospect in the nation was all set to announce his decision this morning at 11:30 AM ET -- in front of a live TV audience...
Only problem -- Davonte didn't show up. He apparently was dealing with some "family issues" late into the night and morning -- and wasn't able to make the announcement at the scheduled time.
Thankfully around 4 PM ET today -- Davonte contacted Coach Kelly and told him the great news -- that he was going to play football for the University of Notre Dame.
Davonte Neal is a special talent -- he has the ability to change direction at full-speed, much like a young man did twenty-years ago in a GOLD HELMET -- named "Rocket."
Here's the initial media reaction to the news -- along with Coach Kelly's comments:
