Jalen Rhodes has been on both sides of the spectrum throughout his football career.
After his junior year of high school, he was listed on the coveted Dave Campbell Texas Top 300 and was a verbal commit to play Power 5 football for Tommy Tuberville as a Texas Tech Red Raider. The three-star recruit was the first running back to commit to Tech’s 2013 class.
During the summer of 2012, Rhodes was gearing up for his senior season at Rowlett High School when he clocked a 4.44-second 40-yard-dash time at a Texas Tech satellite camp.
