 Actually, Adory came to Sarah High School to run track. That was his first reason to come here. We have a great team, a nationally ranked track team, and he came out here as a track guy. Football was practicing over on the football field, obviously, and someone threw him like a back corner feet, and Adory jumps in like one motion, turns, like one hand snatches the ball, I mean out of midair, with a defender jumping in front of him. And I'm walking out of the weight room and I see this happening, and I'm like, wow, like, that was terrific. Everyone else on the field, including like the parents that were sitting there watching practice, no one said anything. Everyone was just kind of like, oh, okay. And I was like, he must do that regularly. Jaxu gets outside, down the sideline, stays on his feet. My mom and dad, they thought it was a good idea for me. I wanted to stay back in Illinois and, you know, be with my friends, be out there in high school with them and do that journey. I know I was super homesick, like I hated California for a while. So my sophomore year here, it was whatever, I didn't really like it. In my junior year, I started like, like California, enjoying it, you know, have friends, you know, they took me in, like a little brother. And then once that happened, I started thinking like, okay, maybe this is the right move, this is the best decision for me. Adory coming from another state, you know, I think football did help him, but Adory is just, he's someone that people gravitate to. I mean, that's just who he is. Football, during the fall, they actually practice out on the baseball field. And so we were like in the infield or in the cage just doing some different little drills. I saw Adory make a few plays and I was just saying to myself like, wow, like, who is that kid right there? And he's like, oh, that's Adory Jaxu. Looking at what Adory's skill set was as a high school player, it was kind of evident the first day I met him. He came in as a freshman and he said that, you know, he played running back or this or that, he wanted to play cornerback. And I had mentioned that, yeah, we had two returning, you know, all league cornerbacks and there was a tough position, he said, sorry coach, I still, I still am going to do it. And so I thought originally he was going to play JV or something, but it took about 20 minutes before I realized that this, this young man is not going to be playing JV. I mean, and, and the other corners better start looking for another job. It was unbelievable because he was like, he was doing like kick return, but he was also punting. He was playing DB, he's playing receiver. He literally impacted the game at every position that he, he played. Adory Jaxu. Adory was always raising the ball, you know, and he was looking at and saying, okay, I did that. That's exciting, but I think I can do better. Jaxu has a shot. Here comes Adory Jaxu. Adory Jaxu, there goes Adory. I didn't see him very much because he was always in a different sport, you know, and I barely, I would barely see him in off season. It's a very good early season jump, five of six jumps over 25 feet. When I was doing something, I wanted to do it. Like it wasn't the thing where I was doing football and I went to track a basketball and I was just having it. After we played freshman football, my freshman year of basketball, I played, went to the championship and won it. And then track, I ended up winning that. Well, I went to the state, I got second. So they seen how hard I worked and how I wanted to do it. So I never know like conflict and interest like, okay, let me pull them back for this because they knew I was so dedicated to doing that and it was just helping me be a better athlete and be a better person and getting a different discipline and being in shape for football, basketball on the track or three different types of shapes. So having that and be able to go out there and still perform and still play, they knew like I was serious and I was going to be dedicated. You look at NFL guys, you look at anyone at the highest level. The multiple sports, I think is a big deal. I think that really helps him. I think for Adory, the fact that he just, he went from season to season. He never just said, I'm a football guy. You know, and the track was unbelievable because of speed, you know, and just his long jump. Everything he did kind of moved towards what he is today as a football player. He's just a fantastic athlete. He literally jumped all the way over the kicker. Oh, my goodness. Allen under pressure firing, ball batted up in the air and it is intercepted, Jackson at the 40. If you come from a certain background like Texas, California, Florida to have that background of football players because you know you're in such a great class, it's such a great history of players that came out and you understand the grind and the work and the sweat that you got to put in to get to the next level because it's not going to be sweet. Because like they say, Cali cool and that's real. Like you can be too cool and you think stuff is sweet out there but it's really not. So you always got to have that grind and that grit with you. Throwing deep down the middle for Hopkins into double coverage and I believe it's intercepted. Adory Jackson, his first career, INT.
