Taft midfielder Kelvin Baffour has verbally committed to Notre Dame's Class of 2022, adding one of the NEPSAC’s top talents to the recruiting board.
The decision positions Baffour, a Right to Dream Academy product, to play under head coach Chad Riley, who previously led Dartmouth to four straight NCAA tournaments from 2014-17.
The Fighting Irish, who compete in the vaunted ACC, won the Division I national title in 2013. They’ve made all but two NCAA tournaments since the 2000s began, creating a great environment for Baffour to further develop in.
