Gabe Giardina, Head Football Coach Charleston Southern University on CJ Landrum. 
 
“CJ is a big athlete that played a lot on offense. Really think he is a great defensive player and great pass rusher. Again, he is someone with some positional flexibility whether it is at End or Bandit and is a great multisport athlete.”
