00:00You know, our focus really as a staff was about quality over quantity.

00:04Guys that we felt like could come make a great impact here,

00:07and I think we certainly accomplished that by the guys that we were able to sign up.

00:11We really focused on character and size and speed, the things that matter in football.

00:15But certainly character in today's climate I think is really important,

00:19the kind of guys you bring into your program.

00:40and we're excited what he'll bring here.

00:42And then also somebody he competed with in the Elite 11 in Jaron, you know,

00:45who's broke high school records there with Dylan in Hawaii.

01:06You know, we'll actually be playing against one of our other commits,

01:08Matt Johnson, here in a few days as they continue to compete.

01:13But Jordan's a tough, physical runner.

01:16You know, has a lot that's desired in this game and his ability to, you know,

01:20create in the way that he plays.

01:22And then Dier just finishing, you know, state championship run

01:25and put unbelievable stats up and did some great things, you know,

01:29for his program there.

01:36really sticks out to us, his position versatility

01:38and everything that he does for his team.
