stands at 6’0″ and weighs 180 pounds, showcasing tremendous potential as a rising Freshman quarterback poised to help his Varsity Team win in the fall of 2025. I had the pleasure of observing him at the 2025 Bone Camp in June, and let me tell you, his skills are truly impressive!
Jahir has the fundamentals of a seasoned player and possesses an advanced football IQ that sets him apart. His dual-threat capability allows him to excel both in the air and on the ground, making him a nightmare for defenses. Considering his reclassification, he undoubtedly has the talent to be the top QB in Massachusetts for the class of 2029.
Expect Jahir to step up and make substantial contributions to his varsity team this season, if given the opportunity. With his skill set and work ethic, the future looks incredibly bright for this young star!

has a real shot to be the number one QB in Massachusetts for the class of 2029 when all is said and done. Another reclassed prospect that would have made the 2028 New England list if he decided to hit the HS ranks this year. Fundamentals are through the roof, football IQ is extremely advanced and he the dual-threat ability to make people pay. There’s a ton to like here.

– No.7 Quarterback
– Faced a ton of great competition and spearheaded a complete team effort from the Springfield Tigers 14U D2 team. They finished third at AYF Nationals
– Last saw him play live in the spring of 2021 and seeing his physical growth and maturation as a quarterback was a treat

Out of all the teams, age groups, divisions, etc. at AYF Nationals in 2023, perhaps no team was put through the ringer more the Springfield Tigers 14U D2 team out of Massachusetts. Led by quarterback

and his surrounding cast of future Massachusetts All-Staters, every game the purple and yellow played was an absolute dog fight. They met a familiar foe in the Mattapan Patriots (also from Massachusetts) in Round 1, earning a multiple-OT win 25-19. In the second round they took on the eventual champion 5280 Colorado Jr. Buffs and heralded QB Luke Rubley. Despite a big effort, the Tigers fell 22-14 in another close game. In their third and final close game of the week, Springfield beat the Boca Braves (Florida) 19-13 to secure the third place finish. Individually, Charles did what he was asked to go. It appeared that he had essentially a one-read offense and made the necessary throws. He has an awesome frame to work with at 5-foot-11 and 155 pounds, in addition to hips he can snap around at any moment, in any position, to make a throw.

has a lot of momentum going into Springfield Central’s program. His bigger brother Khaji is already getting attention as a D1 offensive lineman his junior year. Jahir is a two sport stand out with a lot of potential being a leader. He has a quick release, and the football comes out smooth with a firm arch to its target. The footwork is there. The willingness to learn is there. Being able to digest coverages is there as well. Jahir is smart and I believe he will adjust quickly to the playing curve in varsity ball.
