Jonathan Jameson '18 Recruiting Profile

I like to work hard and like a challenge. I was a little undersized my sophomore year while I was playing varsity for a 1A school, so I gained 20 pounds in the offseason. I have moved a lot, because my stepdad is in the Air Force.  I played my freshman year, on a freshman team,  for a D1 high school in California.  I started my high school career at Nevada Union in Grass Valley, California, and I am going to finish at Spring Creek in Seven Springs, North Carolina. I love football and every aspect of the game. I've played a lot of positions, mostly during my sophomore, junior year and senior year. Among those positions are: middle and outside linebacker, quarterback, defensive end, defensive tackle, fullback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, kick returner, long snapper and kickoff team. My primary positions are middle linebacker, defensive end, kick returner, long snapper and kickoff team. 

I want to play at the collegiate level because I love every aspect of the game. I have loved the sport ever since I first started playing. From seventh to eighth grade I had very little tackle football experience. I loved practicing and getting better though. I wasn't very focused on the sport yet, and wasn't very strong. My main focus was wrestling, but wrestling helped me with football. I started taking it more seriously, and finally earned a starting position my freshman year. I started lifting, and working on my physicality. My coaches took note and I got a lot of playing time. After my freshman year, I moved to North Carolina, and a smaller school. My hard work paid off, and my new coach could tell I was willing to work as hard as I could. I earned the starting spot at middle linebacker at my new school, and at the end of the season I had earned All-Area for defense. My junior year I earned All-Area, first team defense again.  I'm looking to earn the honor again, in my senior year.
