After posting a 3000 yard rushing season season, along with posting a 4.5 GPA in high school, Lackson was recruited to Yale University, and has to see his friend Lamar go to a more football oriented college, Louisville University.

DSFL Career
Jamar Lackson started his career with the Grey Ducks in a crowded, but experienced backfield. Following second year players Baby Yoda and Rick Skuff, Lackson started his career as the 3rd string runner on the team. The team had high expectations coming off of two straight Ultiminis, and the team felt ready to compete with the new GMs. The offense was mostly run based offense, with Yoda, Skuff, and Lackson amassing 594 carries for 2793 yards, good enough for 3rd best in the league. Despite this amazing three headed monster in the backfield, the passing offense struggled due to the also new two QB offense, which only threw for the second least amount of yards in the league. Combined with a 5 game losing streak, the Grey Ducks did not make the playoffs, making Lackson 0-1 so far in his search for the postseason. Now in the off season, the Grey Ducks picked up many new offensive weapons, to help with the passing game, along with picking up 2 offensive linemen, to help with the run game. With both Yoda and Skuff now in the big leagues, it was now Lackson's offense, now improved with all of the draft additions and send downs, Lackson and crew started off the season, 1-3, but with the addition of a new RB, Zed Keppler, the Grey Ducks got back on track, this rushing attack lead to a 5 game winning streak, and the hot streak continued into the playoffs, with Lackson going for 1410 yards, and 9 Touchdowns, leading the Ducks to a playoff appearance, however in the playoffs, the ducks fell short against the London Royals, due to an awful performance by the offense. Although it was a bitter end to the season, LAckson is in contention for RBOTY, OPOTY, and even MVP for this year. This is the end of Lackson's Grey Duck career, as he will play for the San Jose Sabercats next season.
