Jett Goldsberry is closing in on the next step of his football journey.
The Heritage Hills standout, who has lined up at quarterback, defensive back, linebacker and punter, has narrowed his list of over two dozen scholarship offers down to six schools and has locked in his official visits ahead of a long-awaited college decision.
Goldsberry recently narrowed his list to North Carolina, Ole Miss, Purdue, Rutgers, Wake Forest and West Virginia. After months of campus visits, in-home meetings, and phone calls, the do-it-all prospect is ready to take a closer look at each program before making his choice on July 7, 2025.
The official visit tour is already rolling, and Purdue is the first stop on the itinerary. As this article hits the page, Goldsberry is soaking in the Boilermaker experience during his visit scheduled May 30 through June 1. It’s a familiar setting for Goldsberry, who has already been to West Lafayette multiple times, and the family ties only add to the intrigue.
His father, Jon Goldsberry, played for the Boilermakers in the early 2000s, making Purdue more than just a potential landing spot, but a possible legacy destination.
From there, Goldsberry’s recruitment tour hits the road in full force. He’ll visit Rutgers from June 6 through June 8, trade his playbook for some Southern hospitality at Ole Miss from June 13 through June 15, then head to the mountains for West Virginia from June 17 through June 19.
Then to North Carolina to visit Wake Forest from June 19 through June 20, before Goldsberry brings it home with a visit to North Carolina from June 20 through June 22.
Prior to this, each one of his finalist worked extremely hard to stay relevant in his recruiting story.
As documented on X, coaches from each of his finalists have been working overtime to make sure Goldsberry feels the love. Rutgers safeties coach Vic Hall and Purdue offensive coordinator Josh Henson both visited Goldsberry at school on May 13. Ole Miss safeties coach Wes Neighbors stopped by May 12, while West Virginia safeties coach Gabe Franklin and tight ends coach Michael Nysewander checked in May 6. Wake Forest has been active too, with Adam Pilapil conducting an in-home visit May 15 and Nick Whitworth visiting May 5. North Carolina’s Lance Thompson made the trek on May 4, while Purdue’s Charles Clark dropped in on April 23.
Goldsberry’s on-field production backs up the attention. As a junior, he put up video-game numbers: 1,676 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns on 155 carries, 1,807 passing yards and 26 touchdowns with just 4 interceptions, plus 40 solo tackles, 18 assists, 3 sacks, 6 tackles for loss, an interception, and a forced fumble. Oh, and don’t forget his special teams work—he pinned 7 punts inside the 20-yard line during the season.
A true jack-of-all-trades, Goldsberry’s impact is felt in every phase of the game. Now, as he nears a pivotal decision, the question shifts: Which program will secure the ultimate utility man? Will Purdue’s family connection seal the deal, or will a new chapter unfold elsewhere?
For now, Goldsberry is keeping his cards close to the vest, but all eyes will be on July 7, when he plans to announce his college choice. Until then, the countdown continues, and the recruitment of one of Indiana’s most intriguing prospects remains a hot topic across the college football landscape.
