For wide receiver Rakim Jarrett, playing football for Maryland was an opportunity to put on for his home state.
Born in Palmer Park, Maryland and going to high school in Washington D.C., Jarrett surprised many when he flipped as a 5-star recruit from LSU to play for the Terrapins. He served as a valuable option for their offense in his 3 years there, catching a total of 119 passes for 1,552 yards and 10 touchdowns in that span. The 3-time All-Big Ten Honorable Mention now looks to accomplish his next dream: playing in the NFL.
Jarrett spoke with Windy City Gridiron about what it meant to be a Terrapin, his alignment versatility, playing in a crowded wide receiver room in college, and more.
