Brayden Parks, a four-star defensive lineman from Chicago Brother Rice High School, will announce his college commitment on Thursday, July 23, according to reports. Parks is one of the few remaining uncommitted top prospects in the 2027 recruiting class. His two finalists are Notre Dame and Oregon. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound player is considered a blue-chip recruit, meaning he is among the best high school football players in the country. Fewer than ten such prospects are still undecided for this cycle. Parks has visited both campuses and has built strong relationships with the coaching staffs. He is expected to make a significant impact at the college level. Notre Dame has a strong tradition of developing defensive linemen, while Oregon has been recruiting well under head coach Dan Lanning. The announcement will be made on social media. Parks' decision is highly anticipated and could influence other recruits in the class. Fans of both programs are eagerly waiting to see where he will play.
