In 2016, Jason was the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for Southern Durham (NC) High School, aiding in the development of Jalen Greene (Elon) and Ja-Quez Harrell (Methodist University). Despite missing two games with injury early in the year, Greene finished eighth in North Carolina’s 3A division in total yards before earning a scholarship at Elon University.
In 2017, Jason joined the staff at Durham (NC) Jordan High School, which had won four games in the prior three years, coaching Wide Receivers, Special Teams, and Strength & Conditioning. That year, the Falcons went 6-6 (4-1 Triangle 6), shared a conference title for the first time in sixteen years, and made the state playoffs. Despite being limited by injury for the final three games (38 total yards in those three), Kevin Peterson finished with 988 receiving yards, good for eleventh in the NCHSAA 4A division. Kicker Conor MacDougall led the state in field goals, hitting 17 of 19 attempts on the year (long of 43), winning the Tri-6 Special Teams Player of the Year award before going on to play collegiate football at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Long snapper Kent Vines was ranked 17th in the nation by Kornblue Kicking and went on to play at Monmouth University. The Falcons also blocked multiple punts and field goals, and Peterson averaged 24.7 yards per punt return.
In 2018, Jordan again finished tied for the Triangle 6 Conference championship and lost to eventual 4A state runner-up Scotland High 26–25 in the state playoffs after failing to convert on a two-point conversion in the final minute. Quarterback Ben Miller led the 4A division in passing with 3221 yards and was fifth with 27 touchdowns, while six receivers had over 400 yards on the season, including juniors James Jennette, who went on to earn a scholarship at William & Mary after the 2019 season, and Joaquin Davis, who also moved on to play collegiately.
After the birth of his first child in 2019, Jason took most of the year off from coaching, returning in a volunteer capacity for the final portion of Jordan’s season as the Falcons completed their first outright conference championship in decades.
Jason also continues to offer services as a private quarterback coach and has coached quarterbacks and receivers as part of the NC Elite football training team in the Triangle area.
