People in SoCal thought he was a lock to ND if ND would have shown more interest. I was shocked when he committed to Boise, considering how much he supposedly liked ND, and had thought we were showing interest in him. As TP said, it'll be interesting to see if ND jumps back into the mix...

He named a top 5 before his commitment with BSU and ND was not there. Maybe like you said because ND did not show a strong interest.

Really like Jaylen as a prospect. I think he figured out he was further down on our list so his interest lessened. I think he may still be too far down our list now though with the recruitment of Sykes, Morgan and Hill picking up.

I doubt ND will try to get back in the mix on this one. We already have what seems like a gazillion CAT/DE prospects either committed or guys that we are very high on and only about 4-5 spots left. I think ND will hold out for some of the bigger fish at some positions of need.

Apparently he can but he wants to play OLB.

Yep, rivals had an article awhile back where he said that he's only interested in OLB or DE. That was right around the time we fell off this recruitment. I assumed it was because we thought ILB or just didn't like him enough at CAT/DE. Id rather have a few different guys at any position we'd recruit him for. Hopefully we focus elsewhere.
