Jarrett Jerrels brings veteran linebacker grit to FAU
Jerrels is a senior inside linebacker at Florida Atlantic who has shown steady growth and reliable production, especially in the 2023 season when he posted 34 tackles, 1 interception, and 2 tackles for loss. He followed that with 31 tackles and 1 pass breakup in the 2024 season, and FAU notes he earned expanded playing time and added a quarterback hurry in one of his stronger late-season outings. At 6-2, 227, he offers size, experience, and a physical, assignment-sound presence that can help stabilize a defense.
