Jamarion Matthews Jamarion Matthews 6'4" | 220 lbs | DL Sparkman | 2026 GA a 6’4”, 220-pound defensive end with a 4-star composite ranking from 247Sports, is taking his talents from Sparkman High School (AL) to Gainesville High School (GA). Known for his explosiveness off the edge, Matthews leaves Sparkman with elite production — 76 solo tackles, 126 total tackles, and 31 sacks — and he’s coming to Gainesville with one goal in mind: make an immediate impact.

A natural disruptor, Matthews thrives as a pass rusher — with the burst, bend, and power that offensive linemen struggle to contain. His ability to shoot gaps, collapse the pocket, and finish plays in the backfield makes him a constant threat off the edge. Whether it’s 1st and 10 or 3rd and long, Matthews is the kind of defender who demands attention every down.

And Gainesville just added him to the equation.

Under championship head coach Josh Niblett, Gainesville continues to stockpile elite talent and build a roster that’s built to win now. The staff is moving with urgency — assembling high-impact players who can change the outcome of games.

Jermarion is one of those players.

He’s coming to bring energy, leadership, and most of all — havoc in the trenches. With his motor and mindset, Matthews is ready to raise his stock and help Gainesville chase greatness.

This isn’t just a move.
It’s a warning.
