Holy Cross wide receiver Devon Cajuste, a highly touted rising senior, has verbally committed to Stanford University, Knights coach Tom Pugh told The Post on Tuesday night.

The 6-foot-4, 211-pound Cajuste received scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, Syracuse, Connecticut, Boston College, West Virginia and Purdue and was also considering Harvard.

But he verbally committed to the Pac-10 program Tuesday, the last day of his visit to Palo Alto, Calif.

A tremendous jumper and gifted athlete, Cajuste burst onto the national recruiting map last year when he had 40 receptions for a CHSFL-best 921 yards, helping lead Holy Cross to the CHSFL Class AAA semifinals. He earned All-Queens and All-City honors by The Post.
