http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/recruiting/ncf/players/full/135025.png&w=350&h=254Jalen had other offers, Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas wanted him as a quarterback. Michigan as a wide receiver, Arkansas and Missouri as an athlete. These different offers is what intrigues me about the 6’2″, 205 pound athlete from Tatum.
In high school besides playing QB he also played outside linebacker. He has adequate speed and showed the ability to evade tackles. Â He throws the ball well on the run and has shown some velocity but his mechanics are similar to Vince Young and he tends to throw the ball low.
Then we have the following:  ESPN Analyst, Updated 09/16/2011
Overstreet is a very productive dual threat quarterback, capable of beating defenses with his arm and feet. Has the size and athleticism for the quarterback position at the major level of competition. We feel he has sufficient arm strength to make all the throws but will need to improve his mechanics.
Overstreet: “I think I’ve developed into a good leader. I’m becoming a much more efficient passer and my accuracy has improved. I have a good arm.
“I can also run, but that’s usually a last resort for me.
“I’m always working on my accuracy, timing and footwork. I want to not hesitate and get the ball out quicker.â€
Jalen has found a believer in Texas co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin, the man who handpicked Overstreet to fulfill the Longhorns’ need for a true dual-threat talent at quarterback. And these days, the  verbal commit is working hard to prove he can be much more than a runner.
The good news is if for any reason it doesn’t work out at QB we have a guy who can make a name for himself at a variety of positions.
