Lamar Jackson Had Lowest GPA In NFL History?
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson‘s path to professional football success includes a remarkable academic transformation during his high school years at Boynton Beach High School in Florida.
The two-time NFL MVP experienced significant academic struggles early in his secondary education, recording a 1.5 GPA during his sophomore year that rendered him ineligible to participate in football activities.
“I didn’t have any expectations at first, because my 10th grade year, I had a 1.5 GPA. School comes first. I found out the hard way. I completed my 10th grade year. I was hurt. But I trained that year. I felt I owed it to my team, and my mother. My assistant principal at Boynton High was with me along the way,” he said in an interview.
