Jamison had a heck of a season finishing with 91 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 2 ints, and 2 forced fumbles! He was invited to play in the Blue-Grey All American Bowl in Tampa, and picked up an offer this month from Benedictine University. He's an outstanding student with a 3.88 GPA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E22"><strong><em>Strengths:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>Processes information quickly</em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>Plays under control and doesn't get caught out of</em></strong> <strong><em>position</em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>Old School style linebacker between the tackles</em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E35"><strong><em>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11851326/Elliott-Jamison">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11851326/Elliott-Jamison</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E40"><strong><em></em></strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E42"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='275818' first='Justin' last='Leivas']- Land O'Lakes High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E44"><strong><em>5'11 225lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E46">Leivas was part one of the best linebacking cores in Pasco County this season.
