On the campus of one of the world's most storied colleges, in the shadow of the Golden Dome, Trattou got caught up in the hype that comes with being a Notre Dame football player.
Visiting the school for the team's annual spring game, the All-State defensive end from Franklin Lakes signed autographs. He posed for photos with adoring fans, many of whom were children there to root on the Fighting Irish.
In that moment, Notre Dame seemed like the perfect fit for a prized recruit sifting through countless big-time scholarship offers.
Then it was back to the business of playing the recruiting game.
"I'd probably find that kind of experience at all the schools I'm considering," Trattou said Wednesday, two days before he plans on announcing his intentions live on ESPNU during a press conference at the ESPN Zone in Times Square.
"I know I'm lucky that my final choices are all national powerhouses, so whatever I decide, I really can't go wrong," he added. "I'm trying to be humble, but at the same time, I want to enjoy it."
Trattou is keeping those even closest to him at school guessing, although he says he made up his mind within the last week.
Notre Dame and Ohio State are the favorites to land the 6-foot-3, 230-pounder, while legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno made some headway for his program by speaking to Trattou during his visit to Happy Valley. Boston College is a dark horse, considering its strong ties to Don Bosco with former Ironman Brian Toal entrenched as a starting linebacker and wide receiver Ryan Lindsey heading there in September.
Michigan and Florida also are also in the mix.
Trattou was a force defensively as a junior, finishing with 93 tackles and 9½ sacks, although Don Bosco lost to St. Peter's Prep in the Non-Public Group 4 final.
"If he doesn't pick Notre Dame, it'd be a big surprise to me," Don Bosco assistant coach Joe Cutrona said. "Then again, if he pulls a Penn State hat out, I couldn't blame him, either. We all assume we know where he's going, but only he knows for sure."

Well Scout has them listed at 24 but with Trattou that would make 25 and they have 3 soft verbals, guessing they are guys still taking visits...
But you know how the SEC is they will oversign...So you can't really count their spots besides 85 - how many they have on schloarship...
Also the article on their front page says they have 5-6 more spots to fill...

Haaaang on Sloopy, Sloopy Hang on!! O.. H.. I.. O.
So, we llose a lot of DLmen, and get only Solomon Thomas and maybe Cameron Heyward... two very solid players. However, Florida loses a lot of DLmen and get Carlos Dunlap, Justin Trattau, Jerry Howard, Torrey Davis, Sidell Corley (still on the fence though) and possibly John Brown? I am scratching my head over this one...
