Georgia football lands Overtime Elite hoops star 6-foot-10, 330-pound Jahzare Jackson

The Georgia Bulldogs scored a big — and we mean BIG — recruiting coup.

The Dawgs have received a commitment from Jahzare Jackson, who will play football and leave his basketball career at Overtime Elite.

247sports offered a scouting report on Jackson, who has all sorts of size but should be viewed as a football project by Kirby Smart and his staff.

Former semi-pro basketball player with a hulking 6-foot-10 frame that is making the transition to offensive tackle. Has limited experience playing actual football, which means that his technique is entry-level at best. However, has displayed impressive fluidity and agility for someone of his stature and has the posture to eventually hold his own in pass sets with his naturally wide base. Must soak up any and all coaching while embracing everyday life in the trenches, but has rare traits worth molding for the long haul with his near 7-foot-4 wingspan. Should be viewed as a boom-or-burst corner protector that will need to be stashed on a roster for a few semesters as he isn’t anywhere close to being ready for big-time college football.
