Recruiting Player Profile: Jabari Small

KNOXVILLE – As Tennessee football brings in new talent during the Early Signing Period, Vols Wire is releasing player profiles on each individual that signs with UT.

Find out recruiting ratings, key skills, stats and which other programs had offers on the table for each Tennessee signee.

Tennessee added to its running back depth on Wednesday by signing another Memphis product in three-star running back Jabari Small. Standing at 5-foot-10, 193-pounds, Small was recruited heavily by his Briarcrest Christian High School teammate Omari Thomas. Thomas signed with the Vols on Wednesday, as well.

As an elusive all-purpose-back, Small racked up 26 touchdowns for Briarcrest and finished the season as a finalist for the Tennessee Titans DII-AAA Mr. Football Award, which his teammate Omari Thomas won.

Rated as the No. 11 all-purpose-back in the country, Small was committed to Ole Miss, and reconsidered after the firing of head coach Matt Luke. Small will join a running back room for Tennessee that has four scholarship players returning, along with another running back commitment in Maryville product Tee Hodge.
