Class of 2010 Commit #11 - Tommy Rees


The Irish got their 11th commitment to the Class of 2010 when quarterback Tommy Rees announced that he would attend the University next year.

Rees is a three-star quarterback on both Scout and Rivals. He currently attends Lake Forest High School in Lake Forest, Illinois. Rees is 6'3" and 192 pounds. While his three-star rating is fairly average, Rees did have offers from Tennessee and Stanford to go along with interest from Colorado, UCLA and Wisconsin.

Rees threw for 2,200 yards last season and 22 touchdowns against 8 interceptions as a junior. He was awarded All-Conference and All-Area honors. He was offered earlier this week, and promptly announced that he would make his decision relatively quickly. Two days later he did, and now he's Irish.

The announcement means that the Irish are most likely done recruiting quarterbacks this year. Rees will join Cincinnati's Andrew Hendrix as quarterbacks for the Class of 2010. I view both as underrated prospects who could have their rankings bolstered with a good senior season.
