B/R AM: UGA's New Recruit: 6'11", 340 Pounds

Georgia's newest football recruit is unique for two reasons:

  • He's a former hoops prospect who just turned down G League and overseas offers
  • He's 6'11" and 340 pounds

    Meet 20-year-old Jahzare Jackson:

    u27a4 He played basketball at Overtime Elite for the last three years. (He played AAU with Bronny James before that.)

    u27a4 In May, he declared for the NBA draft -- which listed him at 7' -- but went undrafted

    u27a4 He got invited to an FSU camp in June, which opened his recruitment, which led him to Georgia as an offensive tackle

    Here he is in a football setting ↓

    (If you were wondering: There's been one 6'11"-plus NFL player ever.
