Coach Randy Coleman has been at Jonesboro for 11 years, but has yet to see a quarterback like sophomore Cross Jumper.
“He’s unlike any quarterback we’ve had and we’ve had some good ones,” Coleman said. “He’s just different. There’s something that’s different about him because all the other kids kind of gravitate to him. He’s vocal, but not overly vocal. He’s got that 'it.'”
Jumper (6-2, 190, 4.72 seconds in 40-yard dash) completed 144 of 276 passes for 2,413 yards and 28 touchdowns while also rushing 120 times for 707 yards and 7 touchdowns leading the Hurricanes to an 8-5 record.
