Apopka’s Jaquan Lowman sacrifices raising recruiting profile to help his team | Commentary

Anyone who watched Jaquan Lowman run circles around Apopka’s opposition last fall might find it difficult to fathom that he wasn’t even playing his best position.

The humble, self-sacrificing leader did whatever he had to do to make his team successful. So Lowman, who is projected to play defensive back in college, spent his junior season leading the Blue Darters’ offense as a quarterback and he guided Apopka all the way to the Class 8A state title game.

He never played defense. He never complained. He just wanted to win, so he did what he had to.
