Georgia football DT enters transfer portal

Georgia Bulldogs sophomore defensive lineman Jamaal “Jah” Jarrett plans to enter the transfer portal after spending two seasons with the program. During his time with the Bulldogs, Jarrett appeared in 16 games and recorded nine tackles.

Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 350 pounds, Jarrett was considered a developmental prospect entering college. In his first season, he played in five games, including a bowl game, while retaining his redshirt. Despite limited action, he made an impact and recorded at least one tackle in four of those five appearances.

In his second year, Jamaal Jarrett took on a larger role in Georgia’s defensive line rotation, particularly early in the season when injuries hit the unit. He appeared in 11 of the Bulldogs’ 13 games before the College Football Playoff but managed just three tackles during the season.

Coming out of Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, Jarrett was ranked as the No. 183 overall player, the No. 21 defensive lineman nationally, and the No. 6 prospect in the state for the class of 2023. He will have three years of eligibility remaining at his next destination.

Jarrett is set to become the third Georgia player to enter the transfer portal this cycle. Cornerback Julian Humphrey and wide receiver Michael Jackson III have already entered, while wide receiver Nitro Tuggle initially announced plans to transfer but ultimately decided to stay. Dismissed defensive back David Daniel-Sisavanh is also in the portal, seeking to continue his career elsewhere.
