He was educated in the Fort Smith and Springdale School Systems, where he played basketball and football. At Kimmons Junior High, he was a part of the band; and he played the trumpet. He graduated from the Fort Smith Future School in 2020, in hopes to play basketball.

Jeremiah loved activities and his hobbies included singing, drawing& Girls Club, where he learned to play football. While at Harvest Time Elementary School, he learned to love the game of basketball. He became an AAU basketball player and continued to play at various parks, churches and gyms.
