Eddie Jeeta grew up in Watford, United Kingdom. Without much to his families name, Eddie would play football in the streets with friends until finally his high school introduced a football team he could join. Originally started at the cornerback positions but as he grew up, it was evident in his hand size that he would have a gift at catching the football and was moved to receiver where he excelled. So much so that he received a few scholarships to American Universities where he would begin his college football era. With relatives in Florida, Eddie decided to attend the University of Florida and become a Florida Gator. To begin his freshman year, Eddie was quite the outcast as a foreigner playing an American sport, and this affected his performance on the practice field and would see him begin his freshman year dead last on the depth chart. Later that year, a fellow teammate at the receiver position would hurt himself and opened up a spot for Jeeta to see some game time. He would make the most of that day, catching all 6 targets for 105 yards and a score. From then on, Jeeta was not an outcast and excelled in both ensuing seasons, where he would exceed 1000 yards and double digit TDs in both seasons. After an exceptional Junior season, Jeeta decided to skip his Senior season and enter the DSFL Draft.
