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.

Played both DT and DE. Great at both, wins on his pad level and play strength. Has great bend and leverage. Good shedder who stays low. Great first-step quickness, flows to the ball and flashes a high motor. Good range and pursuit. Finished with 50 tackles and four sacks last season.

The defensive end from Buckeye Valley had an impressive showing on the day. He showed off a strong blend of power and explosiveness for his size. He favors the bull rush or the inside gap. After winning off the ball he capitalizes on his length by locking out his long arms and standing up the blocker. For his size he does a good job of staying low and compact so as not to give the blocker a good area to strike.
