Jakarie Cheatham Jakarie Cheatham 6'1" | 150 lbs | WR/DB Sparta Academy | 2026 State AL is a seriously talented WR/DB out of Sparta Academy coming off a dominant season on both sides of the field.
At WR, Cheatham is a huge threat downfield- he’s really fast, can burn DBs, and does an excellent job tracking and hauling the ball in for huge plays out wide. Cheatham has also shown the ability to take jet sweeps and screens the distance, he’s a talented weapon with the ball in his hands who can attack every level of the field.
At DB, Cheatham uses the same ball skills to break on the ball and rack up PBUs and INTs- he’s a huge threat in coverage offenses should look away from with how easy it is for him to create turnovers. On top of that, he’s great at tracking and attacking the ball against the run to come up with tackles for little to no gain.
Cheatham ended his junior season with 1,007 receiving yards, 14 TDs, and 10 interceptions on defense.
