Jarrett M. Paul is a native of Brooklyn, New York who possesses an immense passion for the game of football. Growing up in the Crown Heights area of New York City, he knew he needed to have a special work ethic in order to overcome the perception of NYC not being a football hotbed. To achieve his dreams of playing football at the highest level, he fully bought into the grind and embraced everything that came with the game, whether it be adversity or success. He worked his way into becoming a Division 1 starter in the Big Ten and Mid-American Conference at the Cornerback and Safety positions.

 

After finishing his high school career at Paramus Catholic in 2018, Paul attended Rutgers University where he started at Safety during his Sophomore season in 2019 after playing Cornerback as a Freshman. He recorded 45 tackles and 1 pass breakup in his Rutgers career, with his best games being a 10 tackle performance against Boston College and an 8 tackle performance against the University of Michigan. From there he transferred to Eastern Michigan University for the 2021 season and started all 13 games at Cornerback as a Junior, showing off his versatility. He finished his lone season at Eastern Michigan with 45 Tackles(3 for loss), 6 six breakups, and 1 forced fumble. He led the defense in overall snaps(743) and pass breakups.

 

He ultimately concluded his college career with stops at University of Kansas and Appalachian State University, where his talents were unfortunately underutilized. Nevertheless, that did not stop him from chasing his childhood goal of playing in the National Football League. He finished his collegiate career with 106 tackles(62 solo), 7 pass breakups, 1 forced fumble, and 3 tackles for loss. With the majority of those stats occurring during his time at Rutgers and Eastern Michigan. At his pro day, he put up solid numbers with a 4.5 sec 40 yard dash, 4.2 sec short shuttle, 7 sec L-Drill, and a 36 inch vertical. 

 

Jarrett Paul has remarkable New York City pride. He founded Just Make Plays Athletics with the goal of guiding the youth in his city and beyond to reach their full potential and achieve their wildest dreams. He seeks to impact the lives of the athletes who grew up how he did by proving to them that they can accomplish their aspirations with the proper belief and preparation. He will give his all to clients with the intention that they will use his insight as a valuable resource to reaching their personal goals. 

 

He lives by the mantra:

“Nothing is impossible, everything is attainable”.
