Criswell Says

“I’m big on relationships. I have a very strong connection with this coaching staff. Coach Longo has been recruiting me a long time even when he was at Ole Miss. We have a strong relationship and I didn’t want it to end.”



Mack Brown Says

We wouldn’t have gotten him if it hadn’t been for Phil Longo. Phil was recruiting him at Ole Miss. He’s duel threat, he can really run. Phil’s been watching him and recruiting him really for two and a half years and his relationship is the reason we got him… he’s a very accurate passer as well as being able to run and move.”



Deana King Says

“Jacolby is a dynamic playmaker with both his arms and legs. He is a perfect fit for the Tar Heel offense. He will provide excellent depth in a talented QB group.”
