Jaren Handy carries his weight well.
Not just in the literal sense of a 6-5, 260-pound high school junior who can rush the passer off the edge, but also in the figurative sense of a man who carries an emotional burden he can’t escape.
A good place to start is right now. A rising senior at Perry Central High School in New Augusta, Mississippi, Handy is one of the top recruits of the 2019 class. The 247Sports Composite rates him 96th overall and seventh at strongside defensive end. He wields offers from SEC powers like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, LSU and, yes, Florida.
