Recruiting never stops in college football, especially when National Signing Day is less than a week away.

In an effort to add to this cycle's haul at FAU or perhaps garner a commitment from a future signee, Lane Kiffin visited a player in the maternity ward at a Florida hospital this week shortly after the athlete welcomed the birth of his child.

Kiffin reportedly didn't focus on football, instead stressing the importance of life values. Lake Weir HS (FL) head coach Knox Robinson shared the interaction on Twitter, but didn't mention the player's name in an effort to keep his family's big day somewhat private:

Love him or hate him @Lane_Kiffin came to the maternity ward to see one of his recruits who just had a baby and talked to him about real life stuff. Not football.

The Owls' current 2019 recruiting class ranks 79th nationally, good enough for sixth in Conference-USA, per the 247Sports Composite. Kiffin just finished up his second season in Boca Raton, going 5-7 after last fall's 11-3 campaign featuring a conference championship.

One of the most respected young offensive minds in college football, Kiffin, 43, is on his fourth head-coaching job and first since rehabilitating his career under Nick Saban as Alabama's OC from 2014-16.

Kiffin publicly backed Alabama earlier this month following the departures of top assistants Mike Locksley (Maryland) and Dan Enos (Miami). For a two-week span after the Crimson Tide's loss to Clemson in the national championship game, Saban seemed to be bleeding assistants daily.

Kiffin signed a massive 10-year extension at FAU over the summer. It's rare for a program the size of FAU to invest so much money long-term into its head coach. For those wondering, Kiffin's current buyout if he accepts a new job before Dec. 31, 2019 is $1.5 million.

"We are extremely excited about the contract extension. Obviously, this came about because of the success that Lane (Kiffin) has had here," FAU athletic director Brian White said in a statement last June. "It shows Lane's commitment to FAU. It also shows the University's and (FAU President) Dr. (John) Kelly's commitment to our football program and all of athletics. It is an exciting thing to be a part of and shows a bright future for FAU."
