When Vista Murrieta's Elisha Guidry visited Stanford Friday and Saturday the goal was to build a relationship with the coaches.

"I was trying to get the ball rolling and seeing where I was on their board in recruiting," he said. "I feel like with the visit we found that out and I know where I stand in their eyes. I met a lot of coaches and I got to know them better. It was a pretty good visit.

"Stanford is a different place. It’s a special place."

Reporting offers from Oregon State, Washington State, Northwestern, Dartmouth and Yale, the 2018 safety knows he has some work to do to get the attention of more college coaches. He has shown well on the camp circuit so far this spring and measured in recently at 6-foot-1.

Guidry primarily played safety and nickel last season for one of the top teams in the state. According to the Broncos' Maxpreps.com site, Guidry led the team with 86 tackles despite missing a game.

Guidry primarily played safety because the team was set at cornerback, he said, which included the play of his brother, and soon-to-be Utah freshman, Javelin. The recruitment of Javelin offers some perspective for Elisha. Javelin was a late-emerging prospect who was more well known for his blazing track speed (recently a 10.34 in the 100) and didn't commit to Utah until late January.

"He tells me little things on the process and you have to be patient," Elisha said. "You have to keep working and don’t expect anything. You just have to work and all the other stuff will take care of itself."

With that mindset it follows that Guidry will camp at Stanford on June 20 and plans to attend the UCLA and USC camps.

"For most schools they know who I am and they see my film and everything," he said. "But the coach may want to see me in person and see how I react to coaching and how I compete.

"I want to come and show them in person what I can do and all I have to offer as a player. I want to compete to the best I can."

When Guidry returns to Stanford in June he will be more familiar with The Farm after the junior-day weekend experience. He spoke with professors and learned he had interests beyond his general focus on finance, spoke with Treyjohn Butler about the student experience and sat in on a "Sleep and Dreams" lecture.

"It was a good balance of how Stanford prepares players academically and for football," he said. "They showcased that well over the whole visit."
