I have learned so much from this game. The importance of leadership, sacrifice, and commitment are quick things that come to mind.
Evaluation: Jason burst on the scene during LSU Elite camp in early June. He quickly caught the eyes of college coaches during one on one’s and the 7v7 competition. His quickness out of the backfield or out of the slot is dynamic and can quickly turn a defender if he is not quick enough to match his steps. Jason’s speed was display as well as he was able to run short or long routes, creating separation from some of the top secondary defenders in the state to make the catch and head to the endzone. Being able to showcase his talent in from of the coaches netted him two offers early, one from Grambling State and the other from Southeastern La University (after also attending their camp) He is also a excellent student athlete as he excels academically in the classroom maintaining a 3.7 GPA and already has a score of 21 on his ACT.
He will be one to keep an eye on as he continue to see his recruiting rise in the future.
