About Jaxson

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

i am quick with my hands and very explosive off of the ball, I am very physical and also really like to hit, and if we meet in the gap I make sure you won't be going anywhere

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

physical, and I like to get stuff done, I would say that im a good leader and I am unbreakable

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I would say my leadership is good, my communication skills are also very good, I am not scared to call somebody out about doing the wrong thing or acting up but also i am not scared to help others because they deserve to learn and get better just as everybody else on the team does and sometimes it takes longer so I think it never hurts to help

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

My main challenge was my temper, my whole sophomore year I was short tempered and getting into fights almost every game, I reigned myself in my Junior year, 0 fights, 0 personal fouls, Doing better and applying myself in school, another conflict I had faced was a position battle, my sophomore year as well, I had a position battle with a senior, i ended up getting it, I am grateful for that

What type of college are you looking for?

In the past I have always wanted to play at a Big10 or SEC school but now I am mainly focused on smaller D1/D2 schools and possibly even JUCO

Upper is a thumper. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound outside linebacker for Buckeye Valley can deliver big hits and set the edge. Upper has really shined as a senior, displaying strength as a run defender and also flashing some speed off the edge. He can align in both a two-point and three-point stance and be turned loose to rush the passer. He holds offers from Wheeling, Ohio Wesleyan, and Capital.
