Georgia football in top schools for elite DT Jamaal Jarrett

Four-star defensive tackle Jamaal Jarrett is the third-ranked player in North Carolina and has narrowed it down to only three schools.

Jamaal Jarrett is the third-ranked player in North Carolina. Jarrett is a big defensive tackle with a similar frame to Georgia Bulldogs legend Jordan Davis. Jordan Davis is also from North Carolina.

Now, Jarrett considers his top three schools to be Georgia, Auburn, and North Carolina. Jarrett’s commitment is scheduled for July 19. He has taken recent visits to all three of his top schools.

Jamaal Jarrett plays high school football for Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. Can the UNC Tar Heels get Jarrett to stay home or will he leave the state and try to be the next Jordan Davis or Derrick Brown?

The 6-foot-6, 350-pound defensive tackle is ranked as the No. 176 recruit in class of 2023. Jamaal Jarrett is considered the No. 26 defensive lineman in the rising senior class. He has committed to play in the 2023 All-American Bowl.

The Grimsley standout is also a track and field athlete. Jarrett plans to be an early enrollee at the next level.

Jamaal Jarrett is more of run-stuffer than a pass rusher, which is expected of someone at his size. Jarrett shows the ability to shed blocks and deliver big hits on tape. He is simply to big and athletic for most high school offensive linemen to block.

The four-star defensive line recruit named his top three schools via Twitter and set his commitment date:

Massive 4-star DT recruit visiting Georgia football this weekend

Jamaal Jarrett could be the next Jordan Davis…

Four-star 2023 defensive tackle Jamaal Jarret, who stands 6-foot-five, 330 pounds as a junior, is set to visit Georgia football this weekend.

Jarrett is often compared to star defensive tackle Jordan Davis, who’s is pegged as a first-round NFL draft pick this spring.

Like Davis, Jarret is a North Carolina native (Greensboro). This weekend won’t be Jarret’s first visit to the Classic City. The Grimsley High School prospect visited the Dawgs back in January.

Jarret holds over 25 offers and is rated as the No. 25 tackle and the No. 12 prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, per 247Sports Composite. 

Coach Kirby Smart and staff historically prioritize the interior of the defensive front. The Bulldogs signed coveted tackle Bear Alexander in last year’s class and will look to reel in Jarret to help replenish the front after the departure of Davis to the NFL, along with teammates Devonte Wyatt and Travon Walker.

Here’s game tape from Jarrett’s junior season:
