Early years
"Jimmy was born to Bethany and Jacoby Jeeta in Watford, UK, and is the younger brother to retired ISFL star Wide Receiver Eddie Jeeta who played for the Austin Copperheads. Jimmy had a lower class upbringing as he was one of seven siblings in his household. Jimmy is the second youngest to his siblings; Kelly, Eddie, Brook, Faizul, Beau and Elisa.
Growing up in a rough neighborhood, Jimmy and young boys his age found it tough at times to stay out of trouble. However, Jimmy had a hidden passion for football much like his older brother Eddie. He'd persuade kids in his area to play football for hours a day in the empty street. Quickly Jimmy became popular with his knack for catching deep balls. In the area local high schools were beginning to implement American football teams and Jimmy was first to sign up. Jimmy would begin his high school career as wide receiver like his brother and was successful. However Jimmy developed a knack for defensive coverages and would later be transitioned to cornerback. Needless to say he excelled. So much so that he decided to take his talents to the USA after receiving a scholarship to Clemson University and began his journey to accomplish his dream of making it in to the ISFL."
College career
"Freshman Season
Jimmy only started 6 games for the Tigers in his Freshman year, as he was doubted by a lot of fans that he could play having known very little about him since he came over from the United Kingdom. The Tigers were 2-4 when Jimmy got his first start. The CB1 suffered a bad ACL tear and was now out for the season. Jeeta knew he had to come up big and prove his worth to secure his spot on the starters. He managed to only allow 20 yards in his coverage for the rest of the game and succussfully defended against 2 Touchdowns.
Sophomore Season
Jimmy started his sophomore season as the CB1 for the Clemson Tigers. He would play in all 14 season games. Tigers still yet to find their answer at Quarterback and a poor year defensively , the Tigers had a second mediocre season finishing 6-8. The silver-lining for the team was the DBs. Clemson had a very talented core of Defensive Backs led by Jimmy Jeeta.
Junior Season
Jimmy did not slow down his Junior season. Clemson defence had a huge leap. He was a pivotal piece on this elite defence that made it a nightmare for opposing Quarterbacks and had without question caught the eyes of the DSFL with his performance. While the Tigers never managed to make it to a bowl game, Jimmy has set his sights on the next big prize being the Ultimini."

Professional career
Season 1
Jimmy’s first year with the Dallas Birddogs wasn’t super spectacular in terms of his stats, as he would only bring in 2 interceptions on the year but had a respectable 20 PDs and 72 tackles. However, as a team they were very solid on defence and ended the regular season with a 7-7 record and made playoffs. Sadly, it wasn’t the Birddogs year and they fell in the first round 21-31 to the Bondi Beach Buccaneers.
After the season came the highly anticipated ISFL Draft which saw strong talent on all areas of the field. Jimmy would see himself fall all the way to the bottom of the 3rd round, selected by the long-time franchise San Jose SaberCats. Jimmy will remain with the Birddogs for a second year in the developmental league as he looks to improve on key areas of his game and perhaps make another run at the Ultimini.
