DT Josh Jerome decides to forgo his final season

Post by Irse »

Josh Jerome 6'1" 290 DT transfer from Eastern Washington. One year to play.
Kaleb Jackson-Carter OL 6'5" 279 from Desert Edge High in Goodyear, Ariz
Christion Williams DB 5'11" 182 from Shasta College

Hope to see more commits before the signing date. Wouldn't mind seeing a QB, couple of receivers, another DT, a couple more CB and OTs.

>> Josh Jerome, a defensive tackle, will be joining the Warriors as graduate transfer from Eastern Washington.

Jerome, who is 6 feet 1 and 290 pounds, will be reunited with UH defensive line coach Eti Ena. In 2021, when Ena was EWU’s defensive coordinator, Jerome amassed 13.5 tackles for loss, including seven sacks, and forced three fumbles.

“Having a familiar face around is a big bonus,” said Jerome, who has one season of eligibility remaining. Of his recent recruiting visit to Hawaii, he said, “it felt like family there. It’s a place I wanted to go to. I get along with the guys on the team and the coaches.”

Jerome received All-Big Sky recognition three times at EWU, where he compiled 182 tackles in 44 games.

>> Offensive lineman Kaleb “KT” Jackson-Carter of Desert Edge High in Goodyear, Ariz., said he has accepted a scholarship offer from the Warriors.

Jackson-Carter, who is 6 feet 5 and 279 pounds, is projected to compete at tackle or guard. “I could learn to snap and play center so I can play all the way across,” Jackson-Carter said.

Jackson-Carter said he drew interest from nine Division I schools, including San Diego State, but chose the Warriors after this past weekend’s recruiting visit.

“Honestly, it was the ‘braddahhood,’ the coaches, the players,” Jackson-Carter said. “It was really the family atmosphere. I went down there and felt the love, and decided it was a place where I wanted to continue my education and football career.”

He then gave up basketball to focus on football. He said playing basketball helped in developing his footwork for football. “And,” he added, “I can still get up on the rim a little bit. I can still dunk.”

>> Christion “C.J.” Williams is a defensive back transferring from Shasta (Calif.) College. Williams, who is 5-11 and 182 pounds, can play cornerback and both safety positions. Williams, who grew up in Florida, is capable of running 40 yards in 4.42 seconds, bench pressing 285 pounds, and cleaning 245 pounds. He will join the Warriors in January.

Warriors’ defensive depth takes a hit before camp
By Stephen Tsai

Defensive tackle Josh Jerome, who signed with UH in December, decided to forgo his final season of football with the Rainbow Warriors to pursue a career as a firefighter.

Jerome, who played in 44 games over five years at Eastern Washington, was set to be reunited with UH co-defensive coordinator Eti Ena. In 2021, when Ena was EWU’s defensive coordinator, Jerome amassed 13.5 tackles for loss, including seven sacks. Because of the COVID-19 exemption, Jerome had one season of NCAA eligibility remaining. Jerome signed with UH last December, but did not participate in the spring drills. Instead he opted to pursue a career as a firefighter.

Jerome would have added depth to the interior defensive line.

It's finally official. Could have played a lot especially if Tuitupou doesn't get another year.
