Freshman defensive tackle Jamaal Jarrett used racially insensitive language during his IG Live of the first round of the NFL Draft on April 27.

Jarrett appeared to direct the comments to Shane Gifford, an Asian American boy from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kansas City. Gifford was in the draft to announce the Atlanta Falcons’ first-round pick, with which they selected former Texas running back Bijan Robinson. Jarrett appeared to be encouraging the Falcons to sign former Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter.

Jalen Carter. Jalen Carter, Jarrett said. Come on, you Asian. Ching chong!

Carter was picked a later pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, where he will join former teammates Nolan Smith, Kelee Ringo, Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean.

Jarrett, a 17-year-old member of Georgias’ incoming recruiting class, was rated a four-star prospect according to the 247Sports composite. They ranked him as the fifth-best recruit from his home state of North Carolina. Jarrett made his first collegiate appearance at Georgia’s annual G-Day spring game as a member of the red team, although he didn’t register a tackle.

Jarrett’s comments have been cataloged by multiple outlets, though Jarrett has yet to follow up with a statement. Neither head coach Kirby Smart nor the UGA Athletic Association has released anything either.
