Jerel is a versatile high energy explosive player capable of playing either guard position or a wing forward. He is a slashing player who can put the ball on the floor and finish strongly or knockdown the perimeter shot with good range. Jerel is strong rebounder who is especially dangerous on offensive rebounds because of his explosive leaping ability. He is an unselfish player and a good passer who will find the open player. Jerel is lock-down defender who can match-up with the opposing team’s best player.
Florida St. Head Coach Leonard Hamilton said: "Jerel never had a bad effort day during his career as a Seminole. He worked as hard as any player I have coached at FloridaState. He was also a very positive player whose attitude was spread throughout our team and was a very positive force during his career.”
