ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Ja’Von was another bigtime 2-way player for Chippewa Valley’s 2018 State Championship team. He is a big corner that is an aggressive press cover guy that can run with you on vertical routes and can jam you at the line of scrimmage to stop you or slow you down. He is at his best shedding blockers and making plays against the run in the open field. He excelled against great competition. On offense, he was a huge weapon as a RB. He has the speed to turn the corner and is a great receiver out of the backfield. He pretty much did it all on both sides of the ball. Group 5 Division 1 prospect.

Detroit News All-Detroit East, 2017 All-Macomb County 2nd Team Defense, 2017 Honorable Mention.

He also played offense, rushing for 642 yards and 11 TDs, averaging 8.7 yards a carry while also grabbing seven passes.
