Daniel Freitag, the No. 2 basketball prospect from Minnesota for the class of 2024, said he is going to remain in the state for his final year of high school.

The former Bloomington Jefferson standout announced on Twitter on Sunday that he will play at Breck in 2023-24.

"After much consideration, I've decided to stay in Minnesota and attend Breck School for my senior year," the Wisconsin recruit wrote Sunday.

Asked "Football?" by one Twitter user, Freitag responded with an eyes emoji. He had previously said he was leaving open the option to play football in college.

Freitag announced in April he would transfer from Jefferson to Southern California Academy in Northridge, Calif., for his senior season. That no longer appears to be the plan.

A 6-1 point guard, Freitag averaged nearly 29 points last season for the Jaguars.

Breck, a private school in Golden Valley, plays in Class 2AA and is a member of the Independent Metro Athletic Conference. The Mustangs were 19-9 last season and lost in the quarterfinals of their section tournament.
