On the defensive side, Jamison also contributed greatly, producing 66 total tackles (54 solo), four tackles for loss, three interceptions, nine pass breakups, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble.
The Houston native has also been active off the field, opening his own clothing line following the new NIL rules. Jamison utilized his “shark” nickname to lead the way for his brand.
With new defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski, Jamison will continue to be one of the prominent playmakers on the team both on defense and special-teams.
In addition to the most versatile award, Jamison has been named to the 2021 Preseason All-Big 12 Team and second-team All-Big 12 by Phil Steele and Athlon ahead of fall camp.
