Defensive Back | 6'1 | 200
Cleveland HS/Itawamba HS | Fulton, Miss.
Cleveland Head Coach Scott Eyster
"I am super, super excited for Jahmel. What a great character guy, on and off the field. Jahmel is the kind of young man you want on your football team, just one of those guys that makes everybody better.
"Jahmel's biggest intangible is he'd just flat out hit you, no matter your size. He's straight downhill as a hitter, a big kid that punishes people.
"I want you to know that Jahmel really deserves this because he's just a great kid. I can promise you that he'll be a young man that Vanderbilt fans will like being on their team."
