Recruiting Trail: Floridian Jamari Jiles makes commitment to NCCU

DELTONA, Florida -- Deltona senior Jamari M. Jiles made some news last week when he committed to North Carolina Central.

Jiles (6-1, 240) said he chose the school over UMass and Idaho.

“When I took my visit up there, it just felt like home,” Jiles said. “They showed me a lot of love, and, ever since they offered me, they were the school that was on me the most heavy.”

Jiles, who can also play linebacker, said he expects to transition to defensive end at the next level.

And, while he was excited to commit, he said there is one school that could make him reconsider a bit — Central’s MEAC foe, Bethune-Cookman.

Jiles said he has heard from Cookman, and, if the Wildcats offer he will take a look at the school.

He also has offers from Texas-San Antonio, Tennessee Martin, Tennessee State and Coastal Carolina.
