Like many of us, Jamir Jones was largely driven to succeed based on a commitment to his mother. A pact to work hard as reciprocation for all the hard work she’s done for him. Lakeischa Jones worked double shifts as a nurse so that she could send sons Jarron and Jamir to Aquinas Institute to play in a good athletic program, to stay out of trouble, and to go to college.
Both Jarron and Jamir did attend college, and because they worked hard, were both offered scholarships to play football at Notre Dame. As reported by NDInsider when Jamir committed in 2016, moments like that are what make the hard work worth it for Lakeischa.
