Jarrett Reflects on Latest Visit

Cox (Virginia Beach, VA) place-kicker/punter Drew Jarrett holds one official scholarship offer from James Madison and is drawing interest from UAB, but his college decision likely will come down to the Dukes, Virginia and Virginia Tech. Right now, the big decision for the 6-0, 180-pound Jarrett is whether to accept the full scholarship or accept a recruited walk-on spot with one of the two in-state Division 1A programs.

Jarrett made an official visit to James Madison the weekend of January 16th-18th and says the Dukes are “absolutely” in the running for his services. He did, however, come away very impressed with an official visit to UVa this past weekend.

“I had a really good time,” Jarrett said of this past weekend’s experience. “[R/S Freshman tight end] Andrew Devlin showed me around and showed me a good time. I talked to the coaches and I talked to Al Groh. It was a good time.”

Asked if the Cavaliers might offer an official scholarship now or just extend a recruited walk-on spot with an opportunity to earn a scholarship, Jarrett answered, “The latter is pretty much what they are doing. They are asking me to come in and earn a scholarship. They said if I come in and win the starting job, I would get my scholarship in January of next year. So I’d only have to pay my way for one semester.”
