Jeremy is probably the most fundamentally decent member of the Armitage family from Get Out (which, given the nature of what they do, might not be that high of a bar to clear).
Yes, this guy.
I formulated a hypothesis after looking at the TVTropes page for the movie and finding out that, of all the members of the Armitage family mentioned in the film (except for Georgina, but that's mostly because we don't get much information about her), Jeremy was somehow the only one without their own entry in the Complete Monster category.
Hypothesis, inspired partly by this scene:
Something I learned about from Last Podcast on the Left, Jeffrey Dahmer had some... mixed feelings about the crimes he committed. Not enough to try stopping them, of course, but evidently enough that he had to get drunk just so he could kill them. Notice that Jeremy's clearly drunk for most of his screen time. Putting it together, Jeremy has some qualms about participating in the Coagula procedure (nowhere near enough to truly redeem him, mind you), but evidently, his getting wasted is his way of creating his own Sunken Space for that part of his mind. And, while Jordan Peele didn't confirm that theory in the commentary, he did confirm that he saw Jeremy as the only member of the family who might have rebelled or questioned the morality of what he was doing at any point.
That said, while it's very difficult to find out exactly why Jeremy was rejected for Complete Monsterhood (the thread on TVTropes' website, while still there, is obscenely long and impossible to search), it's probably for a simpler reason: unlike Rose, he actually seemed to feel grief for the death of his parents.
