For our latest Class of 2015 commitment, we travel beyond the tristate, and in fact, beyond the Northeast, and all the way down to Tallahassee, Fla., where MacLay School attackman Stephen Chase has made his choice after drawing interest from many of the nation’s premier programs.

Chase has verbally committed to Notre Dame.

A two-time all-star at Maverik Showtime National Recruiting Spotlight the last two years and the Battle of the Hotbeds this past summer, Chase also represented the South region in the 2013 Under Armour Underclass Games.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound Chase, a lefty, is a pure scorer who is equally effective as a feeder and finisher. He is originally from the Syracuse area.
