Lamar Jackson High School Highlights

Before he was the Heisman Trophy front runner and quarterback for the Louisville Cardinals, Lamar Jackson was a monster in high school.

The Louisville Cardinals came into their game against the Florida State Seminoles expecting it be a tightly-contested battle. Instead, Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson led the team to an absolutely dominating performance.

Jackson finished Saturday’s game against the No. 2 team in the nation with 362 total yards and five total touchdowns in the 63-20 blowout. The Cardinals quarterback is the clear Heisman Trophy frontrunner now with 18 total touchdowns with a ton of highlight plays.

However, before this breakout season at Louisville, did you know that Jackson was already a social media sensation? During his high school days, Jackson made highlight plays that you may remember from a couple years back.

Jackson was only a three-star recruit and the No. 401 prospect in the nation coming out of Boynton Beach, Florida. However, he was still making highlight plays like this memorable one in the Vine below.

The Heisman front runner has always been known for his wheels, but he also has a pretty strong arm. Here’s a video of Jackson claiming to throw a football 100 yards in the air. It’s not the best quality, but it’s still pretty impressive.
