developmental James Madison linebacker with high-upside instincts
In the 2025 season, Jackson Hamill did not see any game action for James Madison after appearing in one game as a 2024 redshirt freshman, so the arrow here is more projection than production right now. His appeal is the classic linebacker package: a sturdy 6-foot-1 frame, proven high-school playmaking (95 tackles, 9 TFL, 4 interceptions as a senior), and enough academic/character markers to suggest a dependable, coachable fit. If your team wants a young, tackle-first LB who can grow into special teams and depth snaps, he’s worth a serious look.
