Five Things To Know About Chargers Tight End, Gerald Everett

First draft pick from South Alabama

Everett’s road to the NFL was unique. He kicked off his collegiate football career at Hutchison Community College in Hutchison, Kansas where he was there from 2012-2013. He missed Brandon Staley by one season at Hutch, as Staley was the Blue Dragons’ associate head coach/defensive coordinator from 2010-11.

Post-Hutchinson, Everett transferred to the University of Alabama at Birmingham for the 2014 season. But after UAB’s football program was forced to shut down, he was forced to transfer yet again, this time to the University of South Alabama in 2015.

After playing two seasons for South Alabama, Everett became the first Jaguar to be drafted to an NFL team in program history.
