Scanning the Southeast: Sun Belt and ACC game day quotes

Jaeden Jackson – NC State vs. FSU

“The visit went well. We were picked up from our parking spot. I got to talk to coach (Adam) Fuller (defensive coordinator), he said he's watching all my film. I talked with coach (Alex) Atkins (offensive line), he gave my dad his number and told us the recruiting will start for me with the Noles. It went well with him.

“After the game Coach Odell Haggins (defensive tackles) talked with me about working hard, about being accountable and that he's put over 60 guys in the league. He said that he wants guys here that are willing to work hard and be the best they can be.

“The game was really good in the second half. The Noles got off to a slow start. Coach Atkins also said he wants me because he wants dogs.”

KJ Smith – NC State vs. FSU

“The atmosphere at FSU was great. I enjoyed interacting with the coaches, players, and fans. I like the style of play that (head) coach (Mike) Norvell and coach (Kenny) Dillingham (offensive coordinator) are running.”

Davi Belfort – Navy vs. Notre Dame

“I loved the campus and the culture of the program. I really liked the coaches and the school atmosphere.”

Ryan Matulevich – Appalachian State vs. Arkansas State

“I really enjoyed my visit to ASU. Their facilities and stadium exceeded my expectations and I really liked listening to (head) coach (Buth) Jones talk about his vision of the program. Thank you to coach (Rob) Harley (defensive coordinator) for his time.”

Kyeaure Magloire – Pittsburgh vs. Duke

“For starters, I loved the atmosphere of the university. The campus was amazing, and the coaches brought all the energy when we first met. They went on to explain the standards and expectations of their school, which I felt really suited me and my play style as a lengthy press man corner. Duke University is somewhere I can see myself excelling both on and off the field!”
