and a top 2017 NFL draft prospect.
Justin is a Jamaican-Canadian top American college football player.
He was first introduced to American football at age 11 years due to his size, speed
and agility. Not only did Justin excel in American football, he excelled academically,
The Touchdown Project’s Ambassador

school in grade 11 and played for coach Troy Davis at Hargrave Military Academy

State at 17 years old. Again, Justin excelled on and off the field, SEC Academic Honor
Roll for the past 3 years, and was the winner of the Kent Hull Trophy as the top
Justin Senior College Offensive Lineman in the State of Mississippi. His performance has earned
th
him the 15 ranked offensive tackle entering the 2017 NFL draft.
Although Justin left Jamaica at an early age, his strong Jamaican upbringing and visits back to the island
have shaped his perspective on life, informed his philosophy and drives his performance on and off the field.
Justin considers his maternal country a gift as he, despite his size, bears the gift of speed possessed by so many
Jamaican kids. His Canadian upbringing introduced him to American football, which has been a life changing
experience for him.
Justin’s passion is to give back to Jamaica and help kids who are not as fortunate as he was to be given the
opportunity of education through American football. Justin volunteered to be an ambassador of The Touchdown
Project because he shares JAMAAD’s vision and mission to help Jamaica’s at-risk youth gain access to
opportunities for advancement through sports. Justin is excited about being hands on with The Touchdown
Project by working with kids in Jamaica on and off the field. He wants to be a role model for Jamaican kids and
wants them to see that sports like American football is a gateway to opportunities for education and a better life.
