ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Played for Terrell HS during his junior season and transferred to Dallas Skyline in the offseason then went to IMG Academy in Florida. Jaqwondis is an outstanding outside linebacker prospect in the 2020 recruiting class and there are not too many things he can’t do. He plays 100 MPH on every play and is all over the field doing a variety of things really well. He is at his best blitzing off the edge or through the A or B gaps. He can get through the line before the lineman has a chance to get their hands on him. He is fluid and able to change directions with ease. He is an explosive tackler that loves to make the highlight reel hit. He is great as a backside pursuit defender. He is lean and tall but he is strong and will stack and attack big offensive linemen. He does really well at defending the flat on bubbles, sweeps, and outside runs. As he gets stronger and bigger, look for him to be an All-Big 10 LB.
Postseason Honors/Statistics/Other NOTES
