Georgia Defensive Line Transfer Jamaal "Jah" Jarrett Commits to USC
Georgia defensive line transfer Jamaal “Jah” Jarrett announced his commitment to USC on Saturday morning. He visited USC on Wednesday, so the visit was obviously impactful.
USC also gained a huge commitment from Keeshawn Silver earlier this week.
Jarrett was a four-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, the nation’s No. 183 overall recruit and No. 21 defensive lineman. But he was seen as more of a developmental prospect by Georgia due to his size as a recruit, listed at 6-foot-5, 380 pounds.
“Jah’s been good,” Kirby Smart said of Jarrett following Georgia’s first scrimmage this past fall. “His weight has been up and down. I think it’s something that he knows and he’s trying to work on. He has moments — flashes— of being able to help us, and we need help at that position in terms of depth because we’ve got, you know, injuries at those positions. I think he’s getting better. He’s more dependable. He has a little more stamina, but there’s still an area for improvement that he’s got to be able to play more consecutive snaps. That’s what we challenge him to do each and every day.”

More on the transfer portal
The NCAA student-athlete transfer portal launched in 2018. It marked a change from when student-athletes had to get a release from their school to transfer to another and they could be limited as to where they transferred. The portal allows student athletes to simply notify their current school and its compliance department that they intend to move on to another program.
