Jimmy played on the Linfield JV as a true freshman in 2013. The Wildcats were stacked in 2013 and won the NCAA Division III national title so playing time was hard to come by for true freshmen, but he should see plenty of action in 2014.

The Mid-Willamette Conference Player of the Year and a 5A first-team all-state selection as a Corvallis High School senior in 2012, he also played in the Reser's Oregon All-Star Series, and was a five-time letterman in baseball and football.
