Hey guys, my interview with 2023 4-star commit Jaden Platt is completed. Below are key quotes. The rest will be saved for the article.
"Ever since I was a kid, Stanford was my dream school. It was the whole package to me, you got to play for a great football program and get an even better education. On top of all that, I loved the type of environment that the team had. On the game day visit, I could see the type of family that Stanford had and I think it made it pretty obvious! I also created an amazing relationship between Coach Shaw and Coach Turner!"-On why he chose Stanford
"I feel like when Stanford recruited me, they had an interest in my size and what I could do for how big I was. More of a tight end that can run routes quicker and faster, but I could also put my hand in the dirt if needed."-On what Stanford likes about his game
"What made me most interested in aerospace was through my family’s military background and me growing up surrounded by all things airplanes and space. Ever since I was a kid, I just took interest in how airplanes worked or how we as humans could be in space, the possibilities and the idea always gets me hyped!"-On his interest in aerospace
"I’m excited to play for Coach Turner because I feel like he can really develop me and I can trust me to take me to the next level like he has with many other tight ends. I could first see this from when I first camped at Stanford and it wasn’t always about working on my strengths, but also my weaknesses and that’s very crucial. To get better is improving the areas where you aren’t the strongest."-On his relationship with Coach Turner
