DEL.ICIO.USNorth Atlanta’s Londry-Jackson creating a buzz
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Jamal Londry-Jackson hasn’t gotten the attention of a lot of his senior counterparts at quarterback. But the combination of his size, production and his quarterback coach has begun to create a buzz around the player who is trying to lead North Atlanta to its first playoff appearance since 1996.
Londry-Jackson has the Warriors (3-1, 1-0) averaging 32 points per game and tied for first place in Region 5-AAA/Division B. In a recent victory against Towers (32-12), the 6-foot-4, 190-pound Londry-Jackson threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns.
He doesn’t have any offers, but began to attract attention during the summer with a strong performance in a Nike Elite 11 Camp in Las Vegas and by winning the Rising Star Award at the Tee Martin Quarterback Camp, held in Atlanta. Martin is Londry-Jackson’s offensive coordinator at North Atlanta.
“I learn something new from him every day,” said Londry-Jackson, currently rated as a two-star recruit by Rivals. “I’m just trying to learn as much as I can, stay humble and help my team win.”
Boise State, Jacksonville State and Oregon have expressed interest in seeing more film on Londry-Jackson, who considers himself a pass-first quarterback.
“I like to make plays with my arm first, but I can use my legs when I need to,” he said. “I think [recruiting] will start to really pick up as we win more games and I put up more numbers.”

Jamal I am REALLY proud of you! Remember when I put you at quarterback in middle school, but you really wanted to play receiver. We finished a successful season and you guys will do the same this year. Keep up the good work and my prayers are with you.

Jamal is a rare breed of a great student athlete. Most people talked about being a student athlete, but he walks the walk. How many kids got a 3.7 GPA, with a daily effort of trying to be better? For Jamal is the hardest part is out of the way, once people see him play with his vast abilities, it will be easy. His arm strength and his athleticism are a big plus as well as his willingness to learn, really puts him way ahead of the curve in relating to student athletes. I think any coach that takes a chance on this kid, will be highly satisfied with the results.
