Jamie Franks on Jungjohann:
“We think after having the opportunity to watch JJ over the past couple of years, his best days are still in-front of him. When you talk about his athleticism and his determination, those two things should provide a good base for him in his transition to the college game. We think he can cover an entire side of the field for us. JJ’s pace and his 1v1 defending are his two best attributes, and we will look for him to build off those strengths and continue to improve in 2017.”
Danny Bills, Real Colorado, on Jungjohann:
“Jared has played his competitive years for Real Colorado and he has led by hard work and dedication for each team he has played on. He has a positive effect at every practice and game. We are excited to watch him play for DU.”
