ABOUT THE BIRD

Born on July 8, 1992 and raised as a Tampa, Florida native, Aramis Jonté Jackson first discovered his love for the game of basketball at the young age of 2. Receiving the nickname JAYBIRD from a family member, Aramis would go on to make his new name locally known with his unique shooting and passing abilities while on the varsity basketball team of his high school, Howard W. Blake High.

​

After receiving the "Coach's Award" honor for both his skills and his on and off-court tenacity, Aramis would continue to improve his skills individually as a student of the University of South Florida in 2010.

 

With a great passion for the game of basketball, Aramis desires to continue to publicly put his skills, as well as the skills of other talented players, on display in the city of Tampa.
