SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio -- In an unprecedented move, the Notre Dame College football program made history by signing the top recruit in the nation, four-year-old Max. The signing is now official after Max and his parents signed a Letter of Intent on NDC's campus on Friday afternoon, making him the newest member of the Falcon Flock.

"Everybody is talking about how this is a great day for Max and making his day, but honestly this is one of the best experiences I've ever been a part of," said junior wide receiver Kyle Perkins. "I'm so glad that I could be part of something so special and to have Max join the Falcon Family."

Max joins the Falcon Flock after visiting campus back in October for the Lake Erie at Notre Dame College football game. Since then, the NDC football coaching staff has worked extremely hard to recruit Max and officially make him a Falcon for life.

With Max officially signed to be part of the Falcon Family, Falcons fans can expect to see him on campus for future football practices and games.

This "Signing Day" has been facilitated by Boston-based nonprofit organization, Team IMPACT, whose mission is to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of team.Team IMPACT children are drafted on to local college athletic teams and, in effect, become official members of theteam from Signing Day through to graduation, attending practices, games and social events while forming unparalleled relationships with the student-athletes and coaching staffs.

The Falcons will now prepare for their upcoming Blue/White Spring game on Saturday, April 25.
