SOUTH BEND (AP) — New Jersey high school receiver Bennett Jackson has made an oral commitment to play football at Notre Dame in 2010.

Jackson caught 35 passes for 806 yards and four touchdowns last season at Raritan High School in Hazlet, N.J. He also rushed for five touchdowns and scored three TDs on returns.

He's the fifth player and second receiver to commit to the Irish for next year and tells the South Bend Tribune he picked Notre Dame over Pitt and Michigan State. NCAA recruiting rules prohibit Irish coach Charlie Weis from commenting until he signs a national letter-of-intent next February.

The 6-foot, 168-pound Jackson had an unofficial visit to Notre Dame last month. He plans an official visit in the fall.
