NC State quote of the day

This quote is from four-star wide receiver Jordan Shipp discussing his meeting with director of strength and conditioning Dantonio Burnette.

“He knows what he’s talking about, he knows what he’s doing,” Shipp said. “He showed us some of the transformations of people’s bodies, him building speed and explosiveness. I’d say that has attracted me the most so far.”

Shipp also explained what will go into his decision-making process.

“It’s really going to come down to prayer, seeing what my family thinks about it and somewhere I’m going come in and make an immediate impact,” Shipp said.
