Paramus Catholic Paladin cornerback Jabrill Peppers, of
East Orange,
and head football coach Chris Partridge kept more than 50 students in
an NJIT Upward Bound Multimedia Journalism class spellbound yesterday as
Peppers, with humility and intelligence, answered students’ questions
for almost an hour. He talked about playing football to honor his
brother who died way too young --in eighth grade. “I think about him
every day,” he said. “He inspired me.” He also detailed to the
enthralled students his daily work schedule; School, practice, homework
and when free time to practice his music. Two students moderated the
event. ESPN ranked Peppers as the top high school cornerback in the
class of 2014. Peppers lead his squad to a 37-34 win over Bergen
Catholic at MetLife Stadium winning the Non-Public, Group 4 title in
2012. A talented musician off the field, Peppers released the video
“Don’t Take it Personal,” the first single on his forthcoming album
“Road to Glory” to be released in September. Peppers recently committed
to the University of Michigan live on ESPNU-TV. The student stories
written about the event will be their final exam grade. Brandon
Robinson organized the event.
