How do you balance training with academics and personal life?
For Jamari, balance starts with structure and support. We keep a consistent schedule that prioritizes school first. Academics are non-negotiable.

We also make sure Jamari has time to just be a kid, whether that’s hanging out with friends, playing video games, or relaxing. It’s all about helping him grow not just as an athlete, but as a well-rounded young man.

Are you attending any camps or combines to gain exposure?

He’s competed in events like the RNR Top 100, where he earned MVP honors, and other elite showcases that bring together some of the best young talent in the country. These opportunities not only push him to compete at a high level, but also help him build relationships and get recognized by coaches and brands.

Who do you train with during the off-season? Do you have a mentor or trainer?
During the off-season, Jamari trains with a strong team that’s fully invested in his development. He works closely with Len Grant, his quarterback coach and head coach, who played the position himself and helps sharpen Jamari’s mechanics, leadership, and decision-making. On the defensive side, Roosevelt Martin, who played at a high level, mentors Jamari on reading coverages and understanding the game from all angles. He also trains regularly with a dedicated speed and conditioning coach to stay fast, explosive, and durable year-round. With this kind of support, Jamari’s always learning and leveling up.

The goal is to come back each season stronger, faster, and more prepared than the last.

What part of your game do you think improved most last season?

What lessons did you take away from last season?
One of the biggest lessons Jamari took away from last season is that preparation and mindset matter just as much as talent.

He also learned the value of leadership, staying positive, and always putting the team first.

Is there a moment from last season that stands out to you?
The moment that stands out most from last season was the Super Bowl. All the hard work, practices, and ups and downs of the season led up to that game.

Being able to compete at the highest level and come out on top with his team was an unforgettable experience and it motivated him to work even harder for next season.

What motivates you to keep pushing during the off-season?

How do you stay mentally sharp and focused when games aren’t being played?
Jamari stays mentally sharp in the off-season by staying locked in with film study, going over past games, and learning from both the good and the bad.

Off the field, he keeps a positive mindset by staying disciplined, setting goals, and surrounding himself with people who push him to be his best, even when there’s no game on the line.

Are you watching or studying any pro or college players for inspiration?
Yes, Jamari watches a lot of football and studies both pro and college quarterbacks for inspiration. He looks up to guys like Lamar Jackson for his playmaking ability, Cam Newton for his energy and leadership, and Peyton Manning for how he reads defenses and controls the game.
