05/20/22 - CB Jarrett Paul, rSr/2024, Appalachian State

Jarrett Paul left Eastern Michigan earlier this spring hoping to play football in a Power 5 conference once again. On Wednesday, that goal became reality. Paul committed to transfer to Kansas at the end of an official visit, marking the second time he will have changed schools. For him, the visit was more of a formality than it is for most players; he had already told defensive coordinator Brian Borland and general manager Rob Ianello that he intended to commit before making the trip to Lawrence from his home in Brooklyn. "I saw their success at Buffalo and I know that they'll be able to do the same thing at Kansas," said Paul, who chose a scholarship offer from Rutgers over one from Buffalo while he was in high school. "I'm only going to be there for a short time, but I know that slowly but surely, they'll get there." The 6-foot-1, 192-pound defensive back played at Rutgers during the 2018 and 2019 seasons, decided to transfer after the start of the 2020 season and enrolled at Eastern Michigan prior to last season.

He started 12 of 13 games for the Eagles at cornerback and finished with 45 tackles, six passes broken up and one fumble forced. In his two years at Rutgers, he played in 23 games, including eight starts as a sophomore at free safety after playing primarily on special teams as a freshman. Paul will be able to play immediately at Kansas despite a second transfer because he will graduate from Eastern Michigan in the coming weeks. - Lawrence Journal World
