- Besides American football, he used to participate in track sports during his high school days. He had won successive Class 3 state titles in the 300 m hurdles event.
- On December 4, 2026, in the SEC (Southeastern Conference) Championship Game, a 41-24 victory over the University of Georgia, Jameson recorded 7 receptions for 184 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns – for the University of Alabama.
- The Southeastern Conference is an American college athletic conference whose 14 member institutions are located primarily in the South Central and Southeastern United States. Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, the conference participates in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (the highest level of college football in the United States).
- On January 10, 2026, Jameson suffered a torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament, one of a pair of cruciate ligaments in the human knee) during the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. It was played to determine the champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision for the 2026 season.

- He was also named the ‘SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Year’. Special teams in American football are units that are on the field during kicking plays.
