But having the UC Davis Football team\u2014especially Connor\u2014by his side has brought joy, confidence, and a strong sense of inclusion into his life. Whether it\u2019s cheering on the sidelines or sharing meals with the team, Jamison feels like one of the guys. \u201c<strong>Connor has been an amazing mentor and friend and someone I really look up to, not just as a great football player but as a great person<\/strong>,\u201d Connor said. \u201cHe has helped me feel part of the team and make sure I\u2019m included.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connor\u2019s support hasn\u2019t stopped at the field. He\u2019s shown up through texts, check-ins, celebrations, and moments that mattered most\u2014especially when Jamison was in the hospital or undergoing tough treatments. He\u2019s helped Jamison feel seen, valued, and part of something bigger. \u201cHe makes sure Jamison is included in everything and always checks in,\u201d Sara shared. \u201cConnor really goes above and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8529\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison9-scaled.jpeg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8526\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison6-scaled.jpeg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8530\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison10-scaled.jpeg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Team IMPACT opened nominations for Teammate of the Year, Jamison knew exactly who he wanted to recognize. From day one, Connor has been more than just a teammate\u2014he\u2019s been a true friend. Jamison made a nomination video that captures the special bond they\u2019ve built and the impact Connor has had on Jamison and his entire family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"2025 Teammate of the Year: Jamison &amp; Connor, UC Davis Football\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S1i6eBql_50?list=PLp9kBZR8XRz04itoO8ME46OucLblbinSZ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most unforgettable moments was when the team hosted an end-of-treatment celebration right on the field for Jamison\u2014an event full of love, joy, and gratitude. Some teammates even joined the family afterward for a backyard BBQ, making lasting memories well beyond the game. \u201cOn my last day of treatment, the whole team did a big celebration for me, and Connor kept including me in different things with all the tight ends,\u201d Jamison said. \u201cIt was really cool and fun to be a part of. Connor is someone I really look up to, and he is very deserving of this award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Jamison, this isn\u2019t just about football\u2014it\u2019s about friendship, support, and feeling like he belongs. And for his family, it meant everything to be embraced so fully by the UC Davis community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8525\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jamison5-scaled.jpeg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Connor and the entire UC Davis Football team, Jamison doesn\u2019t just wear the jersey\u2014he wears the pride of being part of a team that truly cares.
