Western Kentucky dipped into the Volunteer State to secure a big
commitment. Jordan Curll, one of the top offensive linemen in the
state of Tennessee, gave an inside account on his recruitment.
On June 17, the stud 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive lineman chose to
continue his career at Western Kentucky and play for the
Hilltoppers. The Page standout, out of Franklin, Tenn., was a monster of
both sides of the ball last season for the Patriots, starring at both
defensive end as well as offensive tackle. I spoke with Curll briefly
about his recruitment and what comes next.

It didn’t take long for Curll to know when the time was right, as his
official visit all but sealed it.
“I’d say I really locked it in during my official visit and meeting the
staff, the coaches made me feel more like part of the family than just
another recruit,” Curll said. “Their energy, belief in what I bring to the field, and
the vision they laid out for me, developing, and competing—just
clicked. WKU’s culture, facilities, the chance to actually compete
for playing time right away—all of that sealed it for me.”
I am grateful and blessed to announce my commitment to Western Kentucky‼️ @WKUFootball Thank you to my coaches and my family for all the time and effort to making me the man and player I am today. Let’s Work #GoTops

Curll said he had other serious offers as well, totaling up to six in all before
committing, but he felt most comfortable at WKU.
“Before I
committed, I had a few serious offers still on the table, Austin Peay and Samford were all in the mix, but even though the choice was
tough, I felt a stronger connection with WKU’s staff and their plan
for me than anywhere else,” he said.
Solidifying WKU’s Front
He said he also believes he can bring a lot to the table when he arrives to
campus, as well as the coaches having belief in him.
“I bring intensity, work ethic, and versatility. I pride myself on my
physicality—whether it’s blocking someone up front, setting the
edge, or laying the wood in the run game,” Curll said. “Coaches have told me
they see me as a day-one competitor, someone who can help solidify
the line or front, bring toughness, and elevate the entire room.
They’ve spoken about my ability to come in and fight for reps, and
that’s exactly how I’m approaching it.”
When you take a look at his film, he is certainly telling the truth. He plays with a tenacity that you can’t teach, which is what coaches love.
👏🏿Big shout out to @Coach_Helton @CoachThurm87 @CoachBernardi74 @NickLamaWKU for the outstanding hospitality yall showed @JordanCurll this past weekend at @WKUFootball

When asked if his recruitment was shut down, he all but guaranteed
it, but as we all know anything can happen.
“As of right now yes,” Curll said. “I got the
upcoming season coming up, and I’m trying to get back to
Chattanooga to handle some unfinished business, but if the lord sees
fit for a better opportunity for me, who knows.”
