At 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, Jamarion Dunson won’t be the biggest linebacker on any field he takes, but there’s high likelihood that the Cooper senior will be one of, if not the best prepared.

And as a direct result, there’s also a good chance he’ll be one of the most productive.

A true student of the game who loves practice and lives in the film room, Dunson reads and reacts with an efficiency that allows him to play even faster than he is. And due in large part to the preparation he puts in to be ready for Friday nights, he’s grown into a natural leader for the Cougars through his play, words and example.
