Jalen comes to Randallstown by way of St. Frances and has taken great strides this fall to be a force on the Dline for the Rams. He’s a DT with god athleticism and rush abilities that makes him a valuable IDL with a skill set colleges look for in today’s game.

What stands out the most about Jalen’s game is his explosive first step of the snap and active hands. He flashes his hands with speed and power. Able to knock away the OLs hands or swim over them and into the backfield. A good athlete for the position, Jalen runs on his toes and can get on his horse and close on the ball quickly. Jalen is a disruptor DT who is consistnelty making plays behind the LOS. His recruiting should be up trending week after week and is garnering some FCS interest of late. Jalen’s abilities at DL fits what a lot of coaches look for and more should be getting eyes on his game this year.
