Jordi Gomez De Liaño was officially welcomed by University of Santo Tomas, Monday morning.
The 6-foot-5 guard out of UPIS received his Growling Tigers cap and jacket in a simple meeting held at the Quadricentennial Pavilion in Espana, Manila.
Present were Institute of Physical Education and Athletics director Fr. Rodel Cansancio; athletics moderator Fr. Rodrigo Sambuang; and team booster Ryan Roxas.
Also present were Growling Tigers coaching staff, headed by head coach Jinino Manansala and assistant coaches McJour Luib and Joph Cleopas.
Meanwhile, with Jordi was his dad Bert and mom Anna.
Gomez de Liaño’s commitment was significant to the Growling Tigers since they are rebuilding in the wake of several departures.
Despite taking part in a rebuild, Gomez de Liaño feels excited for what lies ahead.
“I feel I can improve my skills and character with the coaching staff, management, and my teammates,” the 18-year-old big guard shared to Tiebreaker Times.
“I feel like it’s my destiny and I’m really excited to be a part of this journey.”
According to Manansala, Gomez de Liaño will wear jersey no. 6. Mark Nonoy previously wore the number previously; he left for La Salle last year.
