Douglas, a Toledo native, signed with his hometown university out of Start High School in the class of 2017. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Douglas played in a combined 12 games over the past two seasons, registering two tackles.
Jahneil Douglas made us proud with his hard work throughout high school, his commitment to being a strong role model, and his attitude towards success in college. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers after this senseless tragedy.
