Expert Analysis

#321 –> #219
Before the season started, Ja’Mari was on my list of players who could have a breakout senior season. Turns out, that prediction came true.
First off, I did not expect Ja’Mari to be such a productive two-way player! On offense, I’m very impressed with his footwork and overall blocking fundamentals. He’s been making big holes for his RBs all season long, and that’s something I did not see in 2023.
Defensively, he’s able to bully smaller linemen. Watch some of his highlights against Byron Center. On a couple of occasions, Ja’Mari shoves the opposing lineman out of the way before making a tackle. Even against an elite offensive line (Muskegon), Ja’Mari is able to hold his ground.
He’s on the cusp of being a GLIAC prospect. Moving forward, I’d like to see a lot more explosiveness from Ja’Mari. Sometimes, he struggles to keep his feet moving on the defensive side of the ball. Still, he’s way more versatile than I was expecting. Excellent season so far!
