[Irish Storm]

Welcome aboard! Nice offer list.

 

[Luckylucci]

His father played at VT, thats why they were the favorite early. Even with that, the family really liked ND.

 

[Andy in Sactown]

I'll take every Virginia DB with a VT offer, all day, every day.

Welcome to the Irish family, Jalen!

 

[Luckylucci]

Some may choose to believe this or not but Wiltfong is saying this is a top of the board type of prospect at DB.

 

[Nothingman]

If he is half as awesome as Sam then I love this commit.

[Redbar]

Congratulations and welcome aboard to Jalen and the Elliott family!

 

[Luckylucci]

I'd feel very confident saying DB as in CB or S whether that is FS or SS. IMO, I'd say he looks like a FS but there truly is so little film of him playing DB its hard to tell.

 

[calvegas04]

They say VT had him at #1 for DB's on their board, also he just visited UGA and Auburn recently

 

[Whiskeyjack]

From Jamie Uyeyama's OFD article about II:

The defensive back I'm most curious to hear about that will be there is Jalen Elliott. He plays quarterback at his high school and there isn't a ton of film of him playing defensive back. It's going to be interesting to hear what kind of camp he has because I have heard some good things about his skills on defense.

 

[BeauBenken]

His resume is impressive. All that should be said though, is that he was a first team all-state player, and he led his team to a 5A state championship as a QB despite him naturally being a defensive player. His dad also played ball at VTech.

That tells me everything I need to know about the kid, and then you add SEC offers, in-state offers, and Wiltfongs seal of approval? Lowly rated, surprise or not, I'm happy to have the kid on board if the staff is.

Awesome get sounds like.

Awesome get, welcome Jalen

 

[NDPhilly]

Awesome get, welcome Jalen

Are you ok GB?

 

[yankeeND]

Wow! This is a pleasant surprise! Welcome Jalen!

 

[GBdomer]

Are you ok GB?

Right, I know I am half empty guy but I know some people appreciate my honesty and the way I feel instead of pumping sunshine. I am just a different dude and I know people who follow my posts know that. I call it how I see it and it might not always be the popular or view most have.

But Va Tech fans are real mad, I guess they really wanted this kid. Va Tech produces a lot of good DB's so if they wanted him then I want him.

 

[GBdomer]

Loy pulling a GB and going "Look what I knew two days ago"

Are his tweets right now rubbing anyone else the wrong way? Almost like he is taking shots at the other sites. God that would drive me nuts if I was scout or rivals

GB's esteem for any given recruit is directly proportional to the level of butthurt inflicted upon other CFB fanbases when he commits to us.

Earlier in day Andrew at rivals seem to take a shot at loy regarding someone being on commit watch

 

[texbender]

Let the Invasion begin, hope it's as big as it is on our southern border.
Welcome to the ND family.

 

[rtrn2glory]

seems like this could be an under the radar kid that turns into a home run

Wait what? I can honestly say I've never been butthurt about a recruit going elsewhere

 

[CanadalovesND]

With all the DBs on campus today, many which are high on ND, Im very surprised that it was Elliott to be the one to pop (albeit, there just may be a few others).

Still, congratulations to the young man on a great choice! Go Irish!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

[Old Man Mike]
