2025 four-star Fullerton (Calif.) Troy tight end Vander Ploog speaks about his official visit to Washington.

Transcript

00:00So when he went there, I mean, it was just it was you know, it all worked out. It all worked out

00:05And I believe when you were on your visit with or to Washington you and Papa got to go golfing if I'm not mistaken

00:12Or you guys had the you got the chance to spend some time around it

00:16But what did you get to do when you were on your visit with Papa if it wasn't yeah

00:19So we did go to Topgolf. We went to Topgolf

00:21And so that's something that we've kind of bought it over in the past and we talked about golf less

00:24It was good to kind of get out there and just kind of talk to him person to person and just get to golf

00:29So that's fun

00:31Had you had you been a avid golfer?

00:33Is that something you've done and and when you look to Washington because I know Washington does a number of different things

00:39We're gonna get into the Legos as well

00:41Where they when you come on campus in your crew as a member of the media

00:44We don't get to see your visits

00:45But it does it really seems like Jed kind of does something a little bit different when he gets you on campus

00:50Which really seems to be resonating with you and several others

00:53Yeah, so I mean I guess like I said, I mean he I saw some other visits

00:58He got to do a bunch of different stuff and I think they do a great job

01:01They really show you what it's like to be a student there and they really kind of can give you a glimpse about what life

01:06Would be like there. So I think they do a great job with that

01:09And now when we just kind of segue into that. I know you

01:13Usually recruits build something of the sort with Legos. Who were you partnered with and what did you guys build?

01:19I'm so I did it with my family and then the kind of like the Lego building thing

01:23We did was we actually built so I have three younger brothers. So me and my little brothers in my family

01:28We just built some stick figures and then I messed behind it was it takes a village to do it because I mean I wouldn't

01:33Be where I'm at today without them. So that was kind of just a

01:37representation of what family means to me

01:39Awesome, man. I gotta ask how

01:42You're 6 6 2 30. How many more younger brothers? Do we have the potential?

01:46Coming down the pipeline here the next

01:48Yeah, so I have three younger brothers

01:50We're all two years apart and I'd say everybody it sucks to say this

01:54But I'm not gonna be the most athletic in my family

01:56Like my little brothers are they're athletes and well because they've had to fight for their entire lives

02:00But they're all they're all gonna be huge. They all baseball basketball football. I mean, they're they're gonna be legit
