2025 Desert Edge (AZ) CB Jamar Beal-Goines commits to Texas A&M

Mike Elko & Co. have added to their defensive recruiting haul today with the verbal pledge of Jamar Beal-Goines, a 6-foot, 170-pound cornerback out of Desert Edge High School in Phoenix, Arizona.
Overall, this is A&M’s 10th commitment in this 2025 cycle, and he joins Katy Paetow’s Deyjhon Pettaway in the defensive backfield.
Beal-Goines can really run. He’s clocked a sub 4.3 40-yard dash and a 10.4 100-meter dash. He has recorded a vertical north of 40 inches and a broad jump of 11-foot-5.
Those elite athletic traits show up on tape, as well. Beal-Goines eats up ground in coverage quickly, and his explosiveness makes him a menace in closing space on ball carriers and pass catchers. There’s also a clear willingness to be physical as a tackler and negate yards after catch.
You can view his junior highlights below.
Beal-Goines chose the Aggies over offers from USC, Utah, Oregon, Missouri and several others across the country.

You can't teach speed and this young man has plenty of it to spare. Great pick up. Whoooop

Kid is fast and got a huge vertical. A little time with Moffit to increase his size and he's gonna be fun to watch

Wonder if Elko will let him run track.

I don't care about the stars. Elite speed. Doesn't have to play ten yards off of the line of scrimmage. Sticks like glue. And he knows how to turn his head around.

247 has him as the #3 player out of AZ. Offer list and star rating can always change with a good season or camp showing.

Is he any relation to Dwayne Goines the receiver that played here that ran a 4.2 forty but couldn't catch a cold?

I'm most impressed by his physicality; he's got that border collie or pitbull mentality... he's not the biggest, broadest guy out there but he announces his presence With Authority and plows right through guys after contact. They're not necessarily headhunting style hits, either, he squares up and explodes right through guys so hard they just collapse.
He's got a great feel for reaching up and slapping a ball down at just the right exact moment, too, whether he's actively tracking the ball or not. You can't teach that, that's all instinct. And when he gets the ball in his hands on returns... dare I say he looks really, really good running 'em back.
Those kick blocks were impressive, he ran so fast the lineman couldn't even step in the way and he got there almost before the ball even got kicked.
Highlight videos don't show lowlights for a reason, but that's 5 star tape right there.
