Miami picked up the top junior college tight end in the country last week in Beau Sandland, but the ‘Canes aren’t done trying to add offensive weapons from the JUCO ranks.
2013 Pierce C.C. WR Jaelen Strong (6’4”, 205) had an incredible season this year, as he racked up 67 catches for 1263 yards and 15 touchdowns. Strong recapped the team’s season and talked about his performance as well.
“The season went great, we went nine and two. I had one of my best years so it was a great season.”
Strong speaks with Miami Tight Ends coach Brennan Carroll and had high remarks about him.
“He is a definitely a nice guy. You can joke around with him and he is a cool guy. He has done a great job of recruiting me. He has been talking to me since before the season.”
Strong does have interest in Miami and happened to be a fan growing up.
“Miami has been a school that I have loved since I was young. I really didn’t expect to be talking to Miami right now. I also think they have a great future ahead of them.”
He wants to take a visit to Miami before he makes his decision.
“I do have an interest in taking a visit to Miami, I definitely want to take an official to Miami.”
While the JUCO receiver does currently live in California, he has no issue with the thought of playing in Miami.
“Distance won’t play a factor. I’m from Philadelphia and I went to a college out in California so it doesn’t matter.”
The JUCO receiver had the opportunity to play alongside Miami signee Beau Sandland.
“It was a one-of-a-kind experience. I probably will have another chance to play with him and maybe even in the NFL, but I know he is going to do great things at Miami.”
Strong wants to make his decision on signing day and knows what he wants when he picks a school.
“I just want somewhere where they can treat me like family. I need to know what type of offense they run whether it be pro or spread. Somewhere where I can play and I have to be comfortable with the coaching staff.”
The talented wide-out is also in contact with Texas Tech, Arizona State, Washington, South Carolina and Tennessee.
