Early years
DB Jadakiss was born in Yonkers and grew up near Getty Square. He was a gifted athlete from a young age and dominated the competition on both sides of the ball from Pop Warner through High School. Even before Pop Warner, DB Jada loved to toss around the ball with friends in the street, and he quickly developed a reputation for being one of the toughest, most physical kids in the neighborhood. He wasn't afraid to level someone with a hard hit, even on concrete. When this became a problem, he was enrolled in Pop Warner early and his big, concussing hits were approved of out on the grass field with pads. Nonetheless, he continued to lay the boom, gifted with tremendous speed and strength from a young age. This continued through all four years of high school, where he led his team on both sides of the ball. By senior year, with scouts from all around the northeastern states coming to Yonkers to scout and recruit, he decided to focus his talents on the defensive side of the ball, where his keen eye for reading plays would be a valuable asset to pair with his raw speed and strength. As a senior, Jadakiss was the #9 safety recruit in the nation, grabbing attention from several big name schools in the northeast.
College career
Jadakiss stayed local for college, going to Fordham in The Bronx. He had scholarship opportunities from a few other schools throughout the Northeast, but wanted to stay local and loyal to D-Block so he suited up for the hometown Rams, despite the relative lack of prestige at the program. He was a star from Freshman year and proved that he could've played at any level of college football. Jadakiss made a name for himself as an all-around safety, leading the Rams in both tackles and interception for three of his four years on the team. In those three years - Jada's sophomore, junior, and senior seasons, Fordham took home the Patriot League title, and even made it to the FCS championship game in his junior year season. The defensive record books essentially belong entirely to Jadakiss at Fordham, leading the school in all-time tackles, INTs, fumble recoveries, defensive touchdowns, kick/punt return touchdowns, and sex had. Beyond his on-the-field prowess, Jadakiss relished the idea of being a local hero, and hosted community events throughout the season. By the end of his college career, the previously unheralded Fordham program became a hotspot for local talent in Harlem and The Bronx, and the Rams to this day continue to have a strong and consistent local pipeline.
