He played college football for the Ole Miss Rebels and was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the third round of the 2010 NFL draft. He also played for the New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals.

Early life

[edit]

Jerry attended South Panola High School in Batesville, Mississippi, where he was a two-way lineman and his career totals included 205 tackles, with 13 quarterback sacks. As a senior, he made 88 tackles, including five quarterback sacks, and returned one pass interception for a touchdown. He helped lead South Panola High School and coach Ricky Woods to a 44-1 record, including state championships in 2003 and 2004, while being runners-up in 2002.

Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Jerry was listed as the No. 27 offensive tackle prospect in the nation.[1]

College career

[edit]

After a prep school year at Hargrave Military Academy, Jerry started all 12 contests at right guard for the Ole Miss Rebels in 2006. He was honored by several postseason publications as one of the top freshman linemen in the country, including The Sporting News and Rivals.com. In 2007, he played in all 12 games and started nine at the right guard position.

Jerry was moved to right tackle and started all 13 games at the position in 2008, and earned second-team All-SEC honors from the SEC Coaches and Phil Steele.

In 2009, Jerry was listed at No. 5 on Rivals.com's preseason offensive tackle power ranking.[2] He was also named to the 2009 Outland Trophy watch list.[3]
