Degrassi Season 1 (Junior High Years - Grade 7 Fall Term)[]
Jason appears in The Great Race as sports rep. He makes an announcement about the upcoming boys soccer game and disregards the girls' swim team's previous win. When L.D. and Melanie Brodie approach him before the game, it is shown that he is also the captain of the boys soccer team. At first he made excuses before he admitted that he believed that no one cares about women's sports. This causes L.D. to challenge the soccer team to a swim match. When none of the boys' soccer team were happy with the bet, he convinced the boys to get Snake to join the team to stack the deck against the girls team.
The day of the meet arrives and while Snake is not with the boys, Jason spots Melanie roaming the school and realizes that she isn't swimming with the team. This makes him happy since he wasn't able to find Snake. However this changes when Melanie emerges from the girls locker room to join the other girls.
When the race begins, Jason is the first and last one to swim for the boys team.
As of Revolution!, it is said that he is no longer the Sports Rep.
He is never seen again.
