One of the more versatile offensive lineman on the rise in the West, Bishop Gorman's Jacob Isaia visited Stanford Saturday and said The Farm "really stood out" among schools he has visited.

Isaia and his family have made a point of visiting top universities as they look for a good fit on and off the field. And he has family across the country, including Virginia, which is why the Cavaliers are on the list of schools who meet his straightforward standard: "I don't really care about location. I want a good education and relationship with the coaches and players. That's it. I don't have big expectations."

Isaia is being recruited as a lineman who can play either center or guard in college. He does not have an offer from Stanford.

Of all his unofficial visits, Stanford stood out because of how seriously they talked about the academic requirements of a recruit and opportunities at the university. That and it was a long day packed with information.

"I think they're really invested in the player," he said. "And they really utilized their whole time. I was impressed by that and really happy. All the coaches that were there I got a chance to talk to. (Head coach David) Shaw is a very serious man. I thought if I made a joke it would make me look bad. I tried to keep it cool."

Isaia is cousins with Cardinal guard Nate Herbig. The 2018 lineman weighed in at The Opening camp at 264 pounds, a noticeable difference from the Big Island. Isaia laughed as he remembered telling Herbig he needed to slim down for Stanford.

"I think Stanford was the perfect fit for him," he said.

Isaia enjoyed talking to the current Cardinal during a player panel. Except what stood out wasn't information about student life, but an observation he made of the players he spoke to: "They are 100 percent committed to Stanford. They bought into what the coaches have said and they know what the coaches expect from them. They're leading their own practices. They're telling me what they do in classes and well ... you are at Stanford!"

Isaia said he is not in a rush to make a decision and he hopes to be able to attend Stanford's June 20 camp. But he also has plans to visit Boise State in the middle of June and he only has three weeks off that month.

"Stanford is amazing and I would highly consider going there, but I have to look at my offers before making a decision," he said.
