Wise quarterback Jabari Laws
Why did you commit to Army?
“It was the perfect fit for me. They recruited me as a quarterback and I fit perfectly into their offense. Later, I know that West Point would be a great decision for me that would open a bunch of networks later in life. I know I am going to a school with a bunch of successful minded people. That will help me be successful later on in life.”
Have any other schools still been recruiting you?
“I haven't heard much from other schools because I have just been focused on Wise football. After committing, it took a lot of pressure off of my shoulders about college.”
Have you scheduled your official visit?
“I haven't scheduled my visit yet.”

What college is recruiting the hardest?
