Gainesville (Ga.) linebacker Jeremiah Telander showcased his versatility and athletic ability on Tuesday.

Telander checks in at 6-foot-3, 210-pounds. He is considered a middle linebacker at the next level. He has patrolled the middle of the North Hall defense for two seasons.

His explosiveness was on full display in a video that surfaced on Tuesday. Gainesville High School football’s Twitter posted a video of the linebacker throwing down a dunk over the defender in the North Hall’s gym during his sophomore year.

Telander already holds football offers from Georgia Tech, Louisville, Tennessee, Kansas, Georgia State among others.

His dunk can be seen here.

Coincidently, Telander will be playing his senior season at a new high school in 2022. He starred for two seasons at nearby North Hall High School though he will be playing for Gainseville this upcoming season.

The Red Elephants recently hired former Hoover (Ala.) head coach Josh Niblett.

Niblett has coached dozens of Power Five athletes in his time patrolling the sidelines at one of Alabama’s premier prep programs.

Telander recently took to Twitter to make his transfer public after spending three years at North Hall.

Telander could be a prospect that has an expanding offer list in the near future. Coincidently, he added to his list of offers with an offer from Eastern Michigan yesterday.

Additionally, Georgia Southern offered the Gainesville linebacker on Dec. 15.
