*HIGH SCHOOL
Jaamal attended Miami Palmetto Senior High School in the Pinecrest area of South Florida and graduated in spring of 2009. Berry was considered the best running back in South Florida and one of the best in the nation by many recruiting corporations including Rivals.com, Scout.com, and ESPN.com. Berry had 140 carries for 1,033 yards (averaging 7.4 yards per carry) and 14 touchdowns as a junior in 2007. He also had five receptions for 30 yards. Scout.com has rated Berry as a "5-STAR Player" and Rivals.com has rated him as a "4-STAR Player". According to sources from a Scout.com high school football combine in Miami, the highly coveted running back reportedly ran a 4.31 in the 40-yard dash- which was the fastest time of any running back in the country at the time. According to Rivals.com, Berry was considered the 56th best football player in the nation and the 5th highest rated running back prospect in the nation.

"Berry is one of the more explosive backs in the class of 2009. He possesses elite acceleration and speed. Has a compact build and is layered with good bulk, particularly through his hips and lower body. Has rare initial burst and suddenness through the hole. Excels at changing speeds to make defenders miss. Runs low to the ground and with good lean, allowing him to pick and slide through traffic without exposing himself to big hits. Blends great vision, body control and lateral foot quickness to find and hit small cracks and cutback lanes decisively. Reaches top speed within steps and can quickly split the seam on the second level. Loses very little in transition when cutting at full speed, and shows great stop-start ability and jump-cut skills to make initial defenders miss. Flashes good lateral quickness when bouncing to the perimeter and has the speed and second gear needed to turn the corner and go the distance. Deceptive power separates him from typical speed back. Shows good balance, leg drive and second effort on contact. Will lower his shoulder and finish runs. Has the excellent short burst to run through arm tackles and generate momentum to drag the pile. Shows similar grit and lower-body strength in blitz pickups. He isn't afraid to absorb a hit in pass protection." From ESPN

""I'm a total package. I can run in between the tackles or run outside. I keep the defenders on their toes because they never know what I'm going to do. I'd like to make my whole game even better, but I'm really working on my reads and hitting the holes better and running with more power." Jaamal Berry

Kid is fast and powerful. I see him eventually overtaking Hall on the depth chart and becoming our featured back. Rod Smith will develop under him, and will take over after Berry leaves. Hall can be converted to a good wr
