Jordan Waters

Press Conference


THE MODERATOR: Questions for Jordan.

Q. You transferred in from Duke. Can you share a little bit about your transition into the Wolf Pack.

JORDAN WATERS: That transition was great. Everybody welcomed me with open arms. There was no ego. Everybody know what we came to do. Everybody is great. I love to be here. I'm excited, I'm happy and blessed.

Q. You were with one family for so long, how have you approached being the new guy in the new family?

JORDAN WATERS: Just the same way I did that one. Like I said, everybody welcomed me with open arms. Great coaches, great staff. Nobody treated me differently because I come down the road.

Coach D welcomed me. We went fishing a couple times. I beat him in fishing. So it's been fun.

Q. Coming into this program and working with the offensive coordinator, what has that been like for you, especially from a guy that's been at so many other staffs?

JORDAN WATERS: It's been fun. When I first got here, he showed me all the film of him lining running backs up in the slot, wideout. I feel like I fit right in. I feel like I can play all three downs, catch the ball, anything. I feel like I can fit right in.

Q. There's a history at NC State of some strong running backs. What does that mean to be able to carry that torch? How would you like to be remembered?

JORDAN WATERS: I got one more year and I just want to be remembered as a great teammate. I do want to come here, play some good ball, rush for a lot of yards, just come in and be a good person, be the best teammate I could, and be remembered as a great person.

Q. In high school you played running back, wide receiver and quarterback, is that correct?

JORDAN WATERS: Correct.

Q. What is it about the running back position that you love so much compared to the other two?

JORDAN WATERS: It's easy for me to get the ball (smiling). All you got to do is turn around...

It's fun. I came in as a safety. That wasn't for me. I went to running back. All I got to do is go out there and run and not get hit - try not to get hit.
