Coming out of Dacula High School, Jakob Brashear was rated as a 2-star prospect by Rivals (5.4) and a 3-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite (0.8339).
Brashear committed to Georgia Tech on March 19, 2015 over other reported offers from Air Force, Elon and Illinois State. Clearly those aren't the best offers in the world, but I think a lot of that has to come from Tech snatching Brashear up before any of the bigger schools could really get a look at him, and after he committed to Tech, he decided to shut down his commitment.
He had a pretty solid senior season, finishing with 74 tackles, six tackles for loss, 6.
