In an exclusive interview with Wisconsin Sports Heroesnative Wisconsin linebacker Jamal Booker reveals his ideal skill comparison.
Booker, a Waukesha native, is one of the fastest-rising 2027 recruits in the state, due in part to his recent success in camp. Booker is a dominant defender on the court who can play both inside and outside, and he’s just starting to scratch the surface of his potential. The 2027 recruit is already seeing a lot of interest within the Wisconsin football program, Miami (FL), Indiana, NorthwestAND NC State to name just a few.
Defenseman Jamal Booker from Wisconsin is confident in his skills on the field
The Wisconsin football staff searched the entire state during previous practices to find the right players for the program. But in the 2027 season, Wisconsin football won’t have to look far for the player it needs on its team. 2027 center back Jamal Booker, The Waukesha native has already generated a lot of buzz in the 2027 cycle, but has yet to land a bigger offer from some interested programs.
The Wisconsin football program had someone interested, and a potential offer from them to Booker would be a dream come true for the recruit. When asked about his dream offer, Booker stated, “Definitely the University of Wisconsin and the University of Miami (Florida) because I’ve been following those programs for a while and I see myself in both.”
Booker also stated, referring to the Wisconsin football program, “I love the atmosphere and the environment, and it brings defenders into the league.”
Jamal Booker: “I know how to read keys”
Although Booker believes he has not yet reached his full potential on the field, he stated that when he reaches his potential, he follows suit Dallas Cowboys defender Micah Parsons. The recruit clearly doesn’t believe he’s the next coming of Parsons, but admits he loves playing the same aggressive, physical style of play. When asked why he chose Parsons, Booker stated, “He’s a versatile player who can produce anywhere, and I know I would produce anywhere on the field.”
Booker plays with confidence and versatility, and in addition to these two aspects of his game, he also uses his football intelligence. The linebacker instinctively reads plays before they happen, much like an experienced college starter with a future at the position would.
Booker is versatile, but feels his best home in college will remain linebacker due to his size and knowledge of the position. Booker stated, “What stands out to me is my quickness on the sideline and my ability to cover,” and the defender admitted he would be “not good enough” to play defensive tackle at the college level.
Could the Wisconsin football team land Booker in the future?
As a Wisconsin resident, Booker admitted that a scholarship offer from the Wisconsin football staff would be a dream come true. However, the program has not yet paid much attention to the 2027 class, and as a result, Booker has not yet received his offer.
The Wisconsin football staff is always looking for linebackers that they believe would be a perfect fit in their system. The 2027 recruit is already very promising and may become Wisconsin’s priority target in the upcoming season.
