A couple good things going for us here are
1. Paige already chose us over 3 P5 offers. Last year we got Jayden Jones’ commitment before he had any other big offers, then when they started rolling in he wavered pretty quickly.
2. As a 6’2” defensive end I don’t know that he’s due for another big recruiting blow up. His offer list is already really good for a 6’2” defensive end and his bookend DE has even more offers, so his visibility isn’t an issue. Chances are a lot of the schools who have seen him and didn’t offer were deterred by his lack of height.
Either way, it’s always gonna be hard to hold onto a commit for 11 months, but definitely evidence that our recruiting momentum is still going strong.
