Quotable: "Jaylen is someone we believe has tremendous upside and is a great fit for our program. He is already an elite perimeter defender, with great length, quickness, and athleticism. He has made huge strides offensively as of late, proving he can score from the 3-point line, but also put the ball on the floor and score on the interior. His ceiling is sky high, and we are so excited for his future on the Farm" – Jerod Haase
