N2FL:  Any particular reason for the jersey number?
 
J.L.:  My coach gave it to me as a freshman on varsity because he wanted to carry a tradition with the number. Our previous starting quarterback was #10.
 
N2FL:  You committed to Georgia Tech in late May, why did you decide to end your recruitment so early?

J.L.:  no
 
N2FL:  Was there another school(s) in consideration before you pulled the trigger on the Jackets, and what was it about Georgia Tech that ultimately sold you on them?
 
J.L.:  Cincinnati, Stanford and Indiana. I just fell in love with the Yellow Jacket football program and everything they had to offer.
 
N2FL:  What do you view as some of your playing strengths?
 
J.L.:  My running abilities as well as my ability to throw on the run. For a running quarterback, I also feel like I have very good pocket presence and ability to throw in the pocket.

J.L.:  To help lead my team to a state championship.
 
N2FL:  What is the craziest recruiting "pitch" you have heard so far?
