Coach Says: Jimmy has exceptional skill and ability as a 2-way varsity starter. A complete player on the defensive side of the ball at safety. Heading into his junior season, Jimmy should be a stalwart and has the opportunity to be an All-League player. Not only is he a ballhawk and should get his fair amount of interceptions, he is also a big part in defending the run. Very physical in run support, and his ability to read offenses and track the ball will give offenses fits. On the offensive side, Jimmy is a valuable weapon in the pass game. Great route running coupled with great hands will help the offense succeed in the passing game.
