Additional Info:“I'm really excited to be going to Notre Dame,” said Sylvester. “I liked the coach a lot; that's what made me decide on it. “Also, I didn't want to live in a city, because I've lived in the city my whole life, but I wanted to be near a city. It was a little over an hour ride from the Chicago airport to Notre Dame, so it's perfect.” Also considered Penn State, Wisconsin, Duke and Tennessee
