Guys, I spoke just a few minutes ago with Gilman School (Md.) four-star DT Ellison Jordan. He visited VT this past weekend for the spring game, his third visit to Blacksburg.
Jordan said he arrived on Friday night and left early in the evening on Saturday, to get home by about 2 AM. And right now, Jordan is one of the top couple of DT targets on the board for the 2016 class. He was offered first in February of last year, visited Aug. 1 then again for the UVA game.
He called this most recent visit "cool" and said the biggest thing is that he likes the communications department at VT. Jordan likes how it's structured and met with a professor. But he didn't get to see the TV studio and wants to make a return trip in the next month or so to see it.
Saturday was also Jordan's birthday and he said his buddy Melvin Keihn made it a point to come over to the sideline before the game and tell him happy birthday. Jordan also mentioned that he liked seeing Mook Reynolds "do his thing" even though he doesn't know him personally.
As far as recruiting, Jordan said he isn't quite sure which VT coach is his main recruiter. He told me he developed a very strong relationship with former assistant coach Aaron Moorehead and still talks to him. But since Moorehead left, he talks to Charley Wiles regularly and Wiles, Torrian Gray and Cornell Brown have all been by his school to see him.
Jordan said he really likes VT. Next month, he's announcing a top 10. While he wouldn't say any definites that would make the list, he did say the four schools recruiting him hardest are VT, Penn State, Maryland and Rutgers. So it's safe to say those four will make the top 10. He also said he wants to visit Pittsburgh, Michigan State and Ohio State next, while Buckeyes coaches told him they're going to see him Thursday for his track meet.
