    USC Football tickets are available for all home and away games.

    He stands six feet 5 and weighs 210 pounds. He attended highschool at New Brunswick where in 2003, he was named Parade All-American, Super Prep All-American, Prep Star All-American, Super Prep Elite 50, Prep Star Top 100 Dream Team, Super Prep All-Northeast Offensive MVP, Prep Star All-East and New Jersey Offensive Player of the Year pick as a senior wide receiver and defensive back. Recorded a career high score of 26 Touch Downs, with 5 of the Touch Downs coming on his 15 punt returns. As a junior in 2002, he had 40 receptions for 956 yards with 17 Touch Downs on offense and 24 tackles and 6 interceptions on defense. He also played basketball at New Brunswick.

    In the 2004 season, he made an immediate impact as a first-year freshman wide receiver. Overall in 2004 while appearing in all 13 games, he had a team-high 55 receptions for 849 yards and 13 Touch Downs. He had just 3 less Touch Down catches than Williams had in his 2003 All-American sophomore campaign. His 13 TD catches are the second most ever by a Trojan freshman receiver. He also had 4 multiple-Touch Down games and 4 100-yard outings in 2004. His 55 catches is tied for 14th on USC's season list. He made the 2004 Football Writers, The Sporting News, Collegefootballnews.com and Rivals.com Freshman All-American first teams, All-Pac-10 honorable mention and The Sporting News Freshman All-Pac-10 first team. At UCLA, he had 5 catches for 44 yards. He had 5 catches for 115 yards, with a 54-yard TD grab, against Oklahoma.

    His 146 career receptions puts him eighth on USC's career list. He has 29 Touch Downs catches in 26 career games, well within range of Mike Williams' USC record of 30 career scoring grabs and the Pac-10 mark of 32. He has caught at least 1 Touch Down pass in 17 of his 26 career games. He also had 9 100-yard receiving games in his career and has caught a pass in every game of his career.

    Jarrett started for his second year at wide receiver as a sophomore in 2005. Overall in 2005 while starting 12 games and appearing in all 13 contests, he had a team-best 91 receptions for 1,274 yards with 16 Touch Downs. He also had 2 carries for 4 yards, completed 1-of-3 passes for 11 yards and made 1 tackle. He was also 1 of 3 finalists for the 2005 Biletnikoff Award where he won the 2005 Touchdown Club of Columbus' Wide Receiver of the Year Award. He was also named a 2005 AP, Football Coaches, Football Writers, Walter Camp, The Sporting News, SI.com, CBS Sportsline.com and Collegefootballnews.com All-American first teamer and Rivals.com All-American second teamer. He also made it to the 2005 All-Pac-10 first team and made the 2005 ESPN.com All-Pac-10 team. He was 12th nationally in receptions and 13th in receiving yards.

    His 91 catches in 2005 put him third on USC's season list. His 16 TD catches were the most in the nation in 2005 and put him third on the Pac-10 season chart. He had a TD catch in 9 games in 2005 and 5 100-yard receiving games in 2005.

    In the 2006 season, he will be among the nation's premier players as he starts for his third season at wide receiver as a junior.

    Dwayne was drafted in the 2nd round (45th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers, he was the eighth receiver selected. Originally projected as a first-round pick, Jarrett's stock fell due to his unremarkable time in the 40-yard dash and stigma from comparisons to fellow former-Trojan receiver Mike Williams, similar to the teammate-similarity-stigma that Cedric Benson dealt with leading up to the being drafted in being compared to Ricky Williams.

    He often draws similarities to former Pro Bowl WR Keyshawn Johnson. Both are considered "possession" receivers and both played at USC. Although Johnson had publicly stated that he looked forward to mentoring Jarrett, it was not to be as Johnson was released three days after Jarrett was drafted, preventing the two from playing together. Coincidently, Johnson had initially stated that Jarrett would be best served by staying at USC an extra year and entering the draft as a senior.

    Jarrett credits his ability to growing up and playing catch with his uncle who "forced me to make one-handed catches."[

    During his sophomore year, Jarrett shared a Los Angeles apartment with quarterback Matt Leinart.

    Jarrett's cousin, Desmond Belton, currently is a wide receiver at the University of Idaho. Like Jarrett, he was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

    Jarrett has had some of his best college games against USC's rival, the University of Notre Dame, he credits this to how he was treated during the high school recruiting process: "They came down to recruit me, they talked to my coaches and everything. They didn't think I was intelligent enough to go to their school. That was kind of an insult to me. I've always had a little grudge against them
