Jamar Summers Defensive Back
6' 0" 175 lbs. East Orange, NJ 3-star
Back in July, UConn beat out the likes of Syracuse and UMass to land the versatile Jamar Summers. After a year spent at Milford Academy, Summers projects to play cornerback at the next level. He snagged five interceptions during his prep school year, when he was lauded for his strong coverage and hitting skills.
Unlike his star prep school teammate Jordan Fuchs, Summers stayed committed to UConn during the turmoil of multiple head coaching changes. He's rated as a two-star prospect by Scout.com. While he may not make an immediate impact in the secondary, Summers could contribute on special teams, having returned a kickoff for a touchdown back in September.
