East Stroudburg, PA Cornerback Kyshoen Jarrett informed Michigan Sports Zone he has received an offer from the University of Michigan. Jarrett is excited about his latest offer saying "well they definatley produce some good DBs (defensive backs) and i would like to be apart of a team that wins games but also develops there players and Michigan can do that"
Jarrett lists his 40 time as a 4.56. He understands the importance of hard work and knows what he needs to do to become a better player. He focuses on perfecting his weaknesses rather than boasting his strengths, he told Top Prospect Sports"i just wanna get better reading a QB (quarterback) even though im not a safety and get quicker feet..higher vertical and i want to tackle better..like a saftey does"
Watching Jarrett play it is hard to find his weaknesses. He is a dynamic player. He has a high motor and quick instincts. His abilities to jam a reciever off of thier pattern is partly what seperates him from the pack. Fluid hips, quick feet and superb instincts allows him to consistenly be in a position to make plays. Jarrett doesnt shy away from tackles. He is a physical defender that will step up in run support and ferocious tackles and punishing hits. Jarrett is the type of player that offensive coordinators have to gameplan around. He is a a force to be reckoned with on the football field. This latest offer by Michigan is Jarrett's sixth offer. He also holds offers from Akron, Illinois, Maryland, Pitt, Syracuse

Jarrett could turn out to be Penn State's most valuable defensive back recruit for the Class of 2011 because of his versatility. He enough speed and good enough cover skills to be a cornerback but also the instincts and hitting ability to be a safety. Here's a recruiting analysis of the kid who helps care for an older brother who has cerebral palsy and is legally blind.
Ever since he had a positive recruiting trip to Penn State this winter, Kyshoen Jarrett has been waiting for a Penn State scholarship offer.
And it probably will come, sooner or later, for this star defensive back. So far, his biggest pursuers have been Michigan, Illinois, Pitt and Maryland. But others have been studying him hard, it seems, including Miami and Rutgers.
And, of course, the Nittany Lions.
"What I really like about him is that he seems to be a very versatile guy," said Corey James, a recruiting expert who specializes in Penn State coverage for Scout.com. "As a cornerback he's very aggressive and has got enough speed for recovery, though not blazing speed. But he fits Penn State's system well.
"He can drop into the zone and read the ball. His biggest weakness may be his man-to-man coverage, but how often would Penn State put him on an island and make him run with somebody?
"And he's a big enough hitter and a big enough athlete who could move back to safety. Then you'd have a ballhawk guy with coverage skills who can play the run.
"He reminds me of (rising Penn State star) D'Anton Lynn a lot."
Lynn, a junior in the fall, has played both spots for the Lions.
Though Jarrett doesn't have an offer from the Lions yet, one should be coming. They expect to take three or four defensive backs in this upcoming class and Kyshoen has shown well so far at offseason combine workouts.
"He has the quickest feet of anybody I've seen in my coaching career," said Ed Christian, East Stroudsburg's head coach since 1981. "You could see that as a freshman, and he's just improved on it.
"His confidence level is unbelievable. ... He always wants to defend the best receiver on the other team."

Spotlight on recruiting
Recruiting has not only become a 12 month-a-year business for college football coaches, it's also blossomed into a second season of sorts for fans. But just who are the national stars and little-known projects the Nittany Lions are targeting for the class of 2011? What are their stories?
· Kyshoen Jarrett The alarm rings at 6 a.m., and the high school football star wakes up and checks on his brother.
Each day, Kyshoen Jarrett helps his brother get into the shower. He brushes his teeth and helps feed him. He changes him. And he takes him to the bus stop.
Jarrett is an East Stroudsburg High junior and star defensive back who already has scholarship offers from some of the biggest football schools around, such as Michigan, Illinois, Pitt and Maryland. He was impressed by a recruiting trip to Penn State this winter and hopes to receive a written offer from the Nittany Lions soon.
And yet he knows there are more important things, everyday things.

Kyshoen Jarrett wheelchair-bound and needs help doing almost everything, relying on his brother and mother, Vinise Capers-Jarrett.
Often, when their mother is away during the evenings or part of a weekend, Kyshoen will take care of his brother.
The star football player wouldn't have it any other way.
"I really don't mind staying home and watching him when everyone else is partying. It just saves me from getting in trouble," said Kyshoen, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound cornerback/safety hybrid.
"It's definitely makes you grow up more. Most people think about it hindering me, but it's really not. The more time you spend with him you realize how much of an outgoing person he is."
Actually, Kyshoen said he is simply doing what any brother should. His two oldest siblings also helped care for Daishawn before moving out of the house.
And when there was talk of Daishawn leaving for a permanent care-giving facility, "Ky looked me in the eye and said, 'Mom, don't you dare do that. Our home would never be the same without him.'"
Capers-Jarrett tells the story and stops, her voice breaking.
"I have a hard time not crying," she said, detailing how close her four boys are.

Defensive back Kyshoen Jarrett has already received offers from Pitt, Maryland and others. He's hoping for an offer from Penn State soon. (Submitted)a hold of something and just putting all of his energy into it and making it look effortless . . . He's encouraged me to follow some of my dreams because he's stuck to his goals without wavering. He doesn't seem impressed with the things that go on with his peers."
Certainly, the brotherly bond is important. Kyshoen and Daishawn watch TV and movies together and joke around with wrestling moves.
Though he can only clearly speak a few words at a time, Daishawn does his best to talk about Kyshoen at school. He also cheers for his brother at football games.
"I think it gives Ky courage on the football field," their mother said. "We're a spiritual family who feeds off each other. We constantly instill in (Kyshoen) how important it is to be a man of his word, to be fearless and faithful. 'Don't be afraid of challenges.'
Maybe that helped him tough out last season, playing with a broken wrist and broken hand. That's why he feels he can shut down any receiver and deliver the biggest hits on defense.
Certainly, seeing Daishawn cheering from his wheelchair means everything.
"When I play football I play for my family. I do what I have to do for family and God," Kyshoen said. "Even though I'm one of the smaller players, I still have heart."

Four star CB Kyshoen Jarrett had a good showing at the Penn State Nike Camp and his stock is definitely on the rise. Stanford, UConn and Syracuse offered him recently, to go along with offers from a host of Big Ten and ACC schools.
Michigan has offered, and he stays in contact with the coaches. Jarrett is looking to get up to Michigan eventually, most likely during the summer. No leaders have been named, but if Penn State were to offer, I'd guess they would be at the top of the list.

Penn State assistant Dick Anderson stopped by East Stroudsburg (Pa.) South on Friday and touched base with Kyshoen Jarrett.
Anderson has visited the rising senior twice now. Jarrett has also twice been to Happy Valley — once for an unofficial visit and for the NIKE Football Training Camp.
Still, he doesn't count Penn State among the 13 schools that have offered.
"They're not telling me anything, really," Jarrett said. "Just that I'm on their radar. At least with me, they still have some time to take with their evaluation process and see what they need.
"Hopefully, by the time the season comes or before the time I commit to a school, they offer me and I can evaluate that decision because it has a great tradition and coaching staff."
The 5-foot-11, 184-pound prospect said he doesn't mind the fact he holds no Penn State offer. Because he holds 13 written ones already, he doesn't have a lot to lose by taking his time with the recruiting process — and seeing what other offers roll in.
The self-proclaimed optimist said it's an added bonus the Lions have remained in touch.
"It's definitely a positive, when you don't have an offer from in-state school that you start to look up to after while, that they still take their time and visit," Jarrett said.
The Pennsylvania product said he really began to look up to the Lions shortly after his unofficial visit in February.
"I didn't think I was going to like Penn State as much as I did until I saw the stadium and hung out with Dick Anderson and Tom Bradley," he said. "Seeing the facilities, hanging out with Justin Brown and getting a feel for the Penn State college life — where it feels like they all support each other — that's what I like."
Jarrett doesn't plan to narrow his list to a top-10 until August. And, even if the Lions would offer after that, he'd still consider them.
He couldn't come up with any negatives about Penn State, other than not holding an offer, and Jarrett had no problem reciting a few positives.
"The tradition definitely clicks for me," he said. "They're very humble and very disciplined. The facilities are nice. It's definitely a football town, when you have 110,000 seats that fill up every game — nothing can get really better than that."
