Jakar "Hitman" Hamilton

For anyone that has not been following the Bulldogs lately, Georgia had two recruits who enrolled in the spring to get a head start on school and getting ready for the upcoming season. One of these recruits was Jakar Hamilton.

Hamilton, a 4 Star safety, is junior college transfer from Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, GA. The Bulldogs lost three of their four starters in the secondary. This included starting safeties Reshad Jones and Bryan Evans. Bacarri Rambo was the only safety that really saw any playing time last season. Rambo most likely will fill one of the safeties spots with the other being up for grabs. Highly touted incoming freshman Alec Ogletree will most likely be competing for the other starting spot against Hamilton.

Hamilton is built like a NFL safety coming in at 6' 1" 198lbs and runs a 4.5 40 yards dash. Since arriving on campus Hamilton has been making a name for himself already with his character and his intensity in the weight room. In a recent article Hamilton was quoted saying:

"On defense, you’ve got to be aggressive. I’m one of those players who just doesn’t care. I’ll throw my whole body even if I have to break something to do it. If I have to catch a concussion, I’ll do it. And having (Grantham) coming in, I’m real excited to see what he’s bringing to the table"

Due to quotes like this Hamilton's name is already being associated with former Bulldogs such as Thomas Davis and Greg Blue. This is something that Georgia has been missing in the past couple years. They have not had a safety that strikes fear into opposing receivers when they go across the middle. When speaking with former players from Georgia Military College they all talked about during practice you would hate to see Hamilton lining up across from you during drills because he would always leave a few bruises on you. Hamilton was nicknamed the "Hitman" during high school and never lets you wonder why this name was given. All is takes is one play and you realize that the name was appropriately given.
