Jarrett Kingston (born December 2, 1999) is an American football guard for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Washington State and USC and was selected by the 49ers in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft.
Kingston was born in and grew up in Northern California.[2] He attended Anderson Union High School where he was a standout two-way lineman in football and also won a discus throw championship.[2] He was called up from the junior varsity football team at age 15 and then helped the team reach the NSCIF Division III playoffs as a junior while being named first-team All-CIF Northern Section.[3] [4] He then earned All-NorCal honors as a senior.[5] He committed to play college football for the Washington State Cougars as a three-star prospect.[2]
Kingston redshirted as a true freshman at Washington State in 2018, appearing in one game.[2] He appeared in 10 games as a left guard during the 2019 season and then started all four games in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season at the position.[6] He started all 13 games in 2021, playing at left guard for the first 12 games before switching to left tackle in the final game of the year. Kingston started nine games in the 2022 season before missing the rest of the year due to injury; nonetheless he was chosen an honorable mention All-Pac-12 Conference selection.[7]
Although Kingston had considered entering the 2023 NFL draft prior to his injury, he opted to return for a final season in 2023 and transferred to the USC Trojans.[8] He started 11-of-12 games for the Trojans while seeing action at both right tackle and right guard, allowing a total of four sacks.[9] [10]
Kingston was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round (215th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft.[11]
