Roach is a guy we have covered since he was in Middle School and it’s fun to see the development in real-time. He’s heading into year 2 starting at Adams Central and the ceiling has never been higher for that program. Roach is a fantastic athlete and proved that once again Sunday. He ran a 4.68 40-yard dash and was in the top 5 for the shuttle drill. He’s got elite speed and change of direction which makes him a nightmare to bring down, but at the same time he’s got a good arm and can sling the rock. He’s got touch down the field and can fire one in a tight window around the intermediate depths. Everything with him seems to come easy and he always seems to have a smile on his face when on the field. I’m a big fan of Roach and felt this past Sunday was another good showing.

Monroe product and Adams Central High School freshman Jamison Roach Jamison Roach 5'10" | 165 lbs | QB Adams Central | 2027 State IN is off to a good start in 2023 and has been contributing to both JV and varsity as a DB and QB for the Flying Jets, whose varsity team sits at 8-0 in this budding 2023 season. A standout athlete, particularly compared to his fellow freshmen, Roach has some game as a QB and looks mobile and accurate on the move and outside the pocket, possesses a strong arm that can stretch the field and put zip on the rock when needed, and is a true dual-threat from the backfield and is elusive and fast when he tucks and runs and is capable doing a lot of damage to opposing defenses with his legs. As a DB, where he’s earned varsity reps, Roach gets out of his breaks well, attacks blocking attempts on the perimeter and does a good job of consistently shutting down screen attempts to his side of the field, and shows no problems contributing in run support and has recorded a significant amount of TFLs from his CB spot in 2023. He’s a three-phase threat with a solid foundation to build on the next three seasons. Don’t be surprised if the 5’10, 160 lber. is contributing to varsity heavily next fall as a sophomore.
