Maurice Harris, recruiting coordinator for offense/tight ends took the stage, too, but was interrupted in the middle of his speech with a phone call from A.J. Jackson, a new tight end recruit from Georgia. Coach Harris asked if it was legal to answer the phone call on stage, and as he did, everyone in the room erupted with applause and cheers — giving Jackson a more that audible welcome to the Rebel family.
The Quarterback Club event at the conference centered ended with attendees savoring the season ahead with the “#5” recruiting class in the nation.
