Southwind Star Wideout Commits to
 Grambling State University

Dominique Jabari Leake
Dominique Jabari Leake

Over the weekend of January 21st, Southwind Wide Receiver Dominique Leake became the first commitment of 2012 after giving a verbal agreement to SWAC champion Grambling State University. After a phenomenal senior season, in which he led the team with 38 receptions, 685 yards, and 13 touchdowns, Leake was vigorously recruited by the Tigers of Grambling, becoming one of their top targets for the offseason.

After a solid junior year, Leake worked hard in the offseason to improve as a receiver. On his summer improvement Leake stated, “I just felt that I improved greatly overall. I became faster, stronger, and smarter as a player.”

His work culminated in the Music City Showcase 7 on 7 tournament that was held over the summer at the University of Vanderbilt. His strong hands, deep threat ability, and just being able to score first caught the eye of college coaches there and impressed not only his coaches, but his teammates. He earned the moniker “Grindtime” for his efforts and impressive Pre-Season performances in scrimmages against city powers Whitehaven and White Station.

His success transferred over to the fall as well as he was used primarily to stretch the field and as the primary playmaker in the passing game of the record breaking Jags’ Offense. With a strong senior class headed by players such as Leake, the Jags finished 7-3 and secured their first post season appearance in school history. Leake stated, ” We did a tremendous job as a team and made a statement that you can win here at Southwind.”

On what made him commit to Grambling State, Leake cited the environment and players, “They treated me like one of their own and I just loved the staff and players.”

Though Grambling is roughly 5 hours from Memphis the distance did not deter Leake, ” Off the field I’m just ready to get a degree in Criminal Justice and meet new people.”

Leake is expected to sign with the Tigers on National Signing Day, February 1st. He also held offers from Tennessee State, Lane College, Mississippi Valley State, and Morehead State amongst others.
