Met new commit Jordan Berry yesterday

Kind of a CSB but I wanted to share with y’all

Flew from Houston to BR yesterday afternoon. Had my LSU hat on and a young man coming down the aisle to his seat tapped me and asked if I went to LSU. I told him that I went there for grad school and now I work there. He told me he and his mom were coming to visit for the weekend. I quickly realized he was a football player and told him that he would have a great time and highly recommended LSU.

Had a helluva week so I didn’t catch his name - just that he was from California. A lady asked him why he wasn’t looking at schools in L.A. and he said he wanted to play in the SEC.

When we got off the plane I joked with him that BTR “ain’t LAX huh?” because it’s so small and he said he liked that it was different from where he’s from.

Anyway, the thing that stuck out to me aside from how big he was was that he had incredible manners. He ended everything with either yes ma’am or yes sir and was very gracious to people wishing him well. I’m only 29 but I know that is rare in kids these days. I told his mom that she should be very proud he was such a nice young man.

I clicked on the link today when he was committed and realized that’s who I had met.

TLDR: We pulled another good player from the west coast at a position of need and this one seems like a very high character kid. Happy to have Jordan on board. Geaux Tigers!
