Meet Jones team leader and junior QB Daniel Jackson
, a player with a huge future ahead of him. Jackson is a dual threat quarterback who plays in the small and traditionally football rich town of Jones. With that comes a player that knows how to be very versatile and flexible and player that can master the playbook and a player that has the ability to utilize his legs as well as his arm.
Calm, and collected Jackson is the man you want leading your team and has proven he can easily take a drop and go through a progression in the pocket as well as being able to make decisions and go through progressions while he is on the run. Jackson racked up 2,200 yards passing, and approx. 100 yards on the ground for the District 2A-2 champions who finished with a 10-2 record.
