Jared Bafford Jared Bafford 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL Oak Ridge | 2026 State TN just earned his first couple of offers and Chattanooga was not going to let him out their grasp after offering, earning the commitment of the underrated in-state guard.

He has good size and athleticism that allows for him to play left tackle for a strong offense that has very productive run game. As he moves inside at the next level, his strong anchor and grip strength will become evident where he can move defensive lineman against their will even if they win the rep at the start.

That athleticism helps him work to the second level and take linebackers completely out of the play, even from the tackle position.

At the end of the day, he is a big, strong, and athletic guard and I still wonder how the Chattanooga commit fell through the cracks and is a prime transfer up candidate in my opinion.
