Jermaine McCree Jermaine McCree 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Williamson | 2026 State AL has made a ton of plays in Williamson’s secondary over the last few years and just made a big decision regarding his recruitment earlier this week.
“McCree makes some terrific plays on the ball. He routinely baits opposing quarterbacks into bad passes and capitalizes by either breaking them up or picking them off.
In addition to his play against the pass, McCree does a lot in run support as well- he’s a physical player who doesn’t shy away from contact and can wrap up and deliver huge hits to the ball carrier.“
Earlier this week, McCree announced he’d committed to Troy! I’m looking forward to watching him at the next level. It’s been a blast covering him these last few years.
