Which High School Did Jalen Ramsey Go To?

Jalen Ramsey attended high school at Ensworth High School for 1 year before transferring to Brentwood Academy. What is most interesting about Ramsey’s high school career was that he was a two-sport athlete in football and track and field. He was impeccable at both sports, receiving multiple honors and breaking records in the sports he played. At Brentwood, Ramsey played the positions of wide receiver and cornerback.

Ramsey’s scouting report suggested that while he lacked the size for his position, his length and agility were used well to break passes and cover long distances. He was known to be very instinctual and had a knack for breaking up offensive plays. By the end of his high school career, Ramsey was recognized as a 5-star recruit.

It will be interesting to see how the Dolphins fare in the upcoming NFL season after having developed a strong offense and defense. Their defense could potentially be one of the most terrifying with receivers like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and a strong tight end in Mike Gesicki. The addition of Jalen Ramsey to a defense manned by Xavien Howard, Terron Armstead and Bradley Chubb among others, makes the Dolphins set to make a deep playoff run.
