Dual-Sport Freshman TE Making a High-Impact Transition from QB
Jameson Scissum, a 6'4", 226-lb freshman tight end for Jacksonville State, stands out as a rare dual-sport athlete (football TE and baseball RHP) with a high-ceiling transition from high school quarterback to tight end. Former Etowah standout Scissum is earning praise from coach Charles Kelly for his intensity, quick learning curve, and physical versatility despite the challenging QB-to-TE switch [1][10]. His differentiators include elite hand-eye coordination from his QB background, baseball-caliber arm strength, and a two-sport discipline that fuels his on-field intensity. While 2026 receiving stats are not yet fully published, his active status and rapid development suggest he's a high-upside fit for teams needing a physical, adaptable blocker and receiver with raw athleticism [1][5]. No known injury history; his intensity and coach trust make him a compelling developmental prospect.
