The game that started Jamdrian's projection to the professional leagues was the first one where he was given the start with Ohio State. It wasn't a breathtaking game by any means. But when Jamdrian got the opportunity he made the best out of it. He showed consistency and intelligence even when up against some of college football's best offensive players. Jamdrian was able to keep both receivers and runners at bay. Either taking them down himself or steering them into a fellow defensive player. And it was thanks to this non-flashy kind of play style which ultimately awarded him more starts in the follow year. And then a full-time starter role for the next two. The coaches appreciated someone calm and collected, who was able to learn from his mistakes and not sulk over them. That has always been, and still is, how Jamdrian plays. Not trying to be flashy or get a pick every play. Just focusing on limiting opponent progress down the field in a consistent way.
