Jarrett is a 6-foot, 208-pound pass-catcher from Washington, D.C. He is ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver in the Class of 2020 by 247Sports Composite. He is now the top-ranked commit in Maryland’s 2020 class.
The entire Terrapins class can be found here. It ranks No. 37 nationally and No. 10 in the Big Ten.

Jarrett originally committed to LSU on April 27, 2019. He then took an official visit to Maryland on Dec. 6, 2019, and that’s likely when things started to change.
Maryland coach Mike Locksley has now recruited his first 5-star recruit to the Terrapins and Jarrett holds scholarship offers from LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and others.
