Jaheim Singletary shares lessons he brought with him from Georgia

Arkansas defensive back Jaheim Singletary knows what it takes to win a national championship. That is because the transfer corner won a title last season with Georgia.

That experience is invaluable and Singletary told the media what lessons he learned with the Bulldogs and brought to the Razorbacks this offseason.

“Just the standard,” Singletary said. “Just every day just going out there grinding. Knowing what we’re grinding for at the end of the day. I’m sure everyone on the team has the same goal, like winning natty or whatever it may be. But just everyday going out there and giving it your all, just knowing the standard.”

Singletary played in three games last year as a reserve for Georgia, including getting reps in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Coming out of high school, Singletary was a highly-touted recruit. He was a five-star recruit and ranked No. 26 overall in the 2022 On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Singletary was also the No. 4 cornerback in the cycle.

He was one of seven top-50 recruit in the class for the Bulldogs, and one of two to have transferred away from the program. Defensive lineman Bear Alexander also left Athens, Ga., this offseason and ended up in Los Angeles at USC.

While he didn’t get many reps with the Bulldogs, Singletary is expected to play a big role as a redshirt freshman for the Razorbacks.

Head coach Sam Pittman recently provided an update on where players in the secondary stand and said that Jaylon Braxton, Dwight McGlothern, Kee’yon Stewart and Singletary are the four ahead of the rest of the pack at the moment.

“[Dwight McGlothern] had a good day. Jaheim [Singletary] had a good day. [Kee’yon Stewart] had a good day, and [Jaylon] Braxton. Those are probably our four right now,” Pittman said after the first scrimmage of the fall less than two weeks ago. “Really what I wanted to see today was 40 to 50 reps of the guys playing their position.

“I didn’t want to play anybody today in two positions. So, when they came to me and they started talking about how we’re going to play with players — because you have to figure that out before you ever go out there because it’s opportunity. You have to give them the opportunity at a position to win the position.”
