At 6-feet and 185 pounds, Class of 2020 wide receiver Rakim Jarrett usually isn’t the biggest receiver on the field, but Jarrett’s use of other tools has him on the radar of college programs.

Jarrett, who said he runs a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, started his sophomore season strong on Saturday, catching five passes in a 49-30 win over Jones High School in Florida. Friday will offer a much bigger stage, when Jarrett and St. John’s College travel to national power De La Salle in California.

Three offers are already in for Jarrett from Virginia Tech, Maryland and Syracuse. Friday’s game should provide an even bigger spotlight, but Jarrett has his eyes further down the road.

“I want to major in law, so that will be a big factor, how the school is academically more than the football part,” Jarrett said. “You always have to have a backup plan if football doesn’t work. I want to look into location and distance away from home. Then, I want to go to an offense that’s pass-first, like the Pac-12. The SEC is a good mix of both. If the opportunity shows itself to go the Pac-12, I’d go there. If not, I’d want to stay close.”
