A big, bruising tight end that also plays basketball, Emaree discusses the Nippert atmosphere for the Oklahoma game, his relationship with Cincinnati tight end coach Josh Stepp, what he's looking for from a school at the next level, and gives a timeline for what his upcoming schedule looks like.

Samaj Jones:

Samaj currently has his St Joseph's Prep team ranked #11 nationally and was joined on his visit by teammate and Cincinnati WR commit Elijah Jones. He discusses that relationship with Elijah, his relationship with this staff, what led to commitment to Cincinnati, and overall vibe of the atmosphere for the Oklahoma game.
