Colzie announced his commitment to the Irish while he was on campus at Notre Dame. This was his fourth visit to South Bend. His last visit came in June during a camp at Notre Dame, which is when he earned an offer from the Irish staff.
The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder committed to Notre Dame as a receiver. Rivals ranks Colzie as the No. 95 prospect nationally, the No. 9 recruit in Georgia, and the No. 6 athlete in the land.
"I love the atmosphere and the people there," Colzie previously said of Notre Dame. "The fans love me."
Colzie built a very strong relationship with Irish receivers coach Del Alexander during the recruiting process.
"He was the first coach who I really built a relationship with," Colzie notred.
Colzie is Notre Dame's 6th commitment in the 2021 class and first receiver commitment. Hartwell (Ga.) Hart County tight end Cane Berrong, a fellow four-star prospect, lives about 45 minutes from Colzie's high school.
