Talented two-way prospect recently sat down and answered several questions from the Swarm members...here is what Jalen had to say below!
Q: What position they advised that you will play?
A: I committed as a saftey!
Q: What position do you enjoy the most?
A: Well, I love both positions but I would prefer saftey! But if I need too move to WR for the team, I wouldn't mind doing that!
Q: How is your recovery?
A: it's going great! I've been running a mile and cutting and jumping and still doing some leg press trying to strengthen up my quad but everything is going good!
Q: What was the toughest part about missing your senior year? How do you think that has helped you prepare for Tech?
A: the toughest part about missing this year was probably just not being able too be out on the field with the guys I played with my whole life. And I think it's prepared me to become a better leader and missing out makes me even more ready to get to Tech in June and work hard and finally get back on the field.
Q: Are you out of the brace and rehabbing without it?
A: yes, I've been out of my brace for like 3 months and the only brace that I wear now is the brace that I will actually play in but I do all my strengthening without my brace. But I don't have to wear a brace all the time.
Q: Favorite high school memory?
A: Definitely winning a state championship this year and also going my 10th and 11th grade year. I went to state in every sport that I play since 10th grade, Final Four in basketball my 10th grade year, I was a part of the 4x4 state champion team my 11th grade year and then going too state in football, 10th, 11th, and 12th, playing in all of those are my best memories!
Q: I want to know about how competitive he is ? How much does losing bother him?
A: No one likes losing, but I absolutely hate it. And I'm very competitive, if it's card games, or if it's football, I want to win every time!
Q: What's the good word?
A: Go yellow jackets!! I'm ready to get to tech and work hard and contribute to the team!
Q: What are some things that you are looking forward to the most at Georgia Tech?
A: Getting a GREAT education and getting an opportunity to play the sport I love!!
Q: Anything that you want GT fans to know about you as a person or football player?
A: I'm involved in Big Brother/Big Sister organization and also been a part of childhood cancer fundraisers. So, I like to give back when I have the opportunity to do so. As a football player, I'm gonna just work my tail off and do my best to help the team in any way I can, if it's playing WR or Saftey!
Q: Any notable Christmas presents?
A: spending time with my family and friends and getting my championship ring in February will be my favorite Christmas gifts! Hah
