Jevon Kearse (born September 3, 1976), nicknamed "The Freak," is a former American college and professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL) for eleven seasons during the late 1990s and 2000s. Kearse played college football for the University of Florida, and received All-American honors. A first-round pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, he played professionally for the Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL.

Kearse played for the Eagles for four seasons between stints with the Titans. During his first five seasons with the Titans, he was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1999. Both his unusual speed and 86-inch (220 cm) wingspan greatly impressed coaches and earned him the nickname "The Freak."

Kearse was born in Fort Myers, Florida in 1976, the son of Joseph Kearse and Lessie Mae Kearse.

Kearse attended North Fort Myers High School in North Fort Myers, and he played high school football for the North Fort Myers Red Knights. He was over six feet tall and extremely agile, and added muscle without a loss of speed and agility. Kearse began attracting college recruiters under his coach Wade Hummel. He played strong safety and tight end, and in his first season in high school, he returned four kicks for touchdowns.
