Jessie Armstead attended David W. Carter High School in Dallas, Texas, where he was coached by Freddie James. Armstead was part of a highly talented team that featured four other future NFL players — Clifton Abraham, Joe Burch, Le'Shai Maston, Darius Smith — and won the 1988 5A state championship (stripped by UIL in 1991), defeating Permian High School in the state semi-final game, which was portrayed as the state championship game in the 2004 film Friday Night Lights and the 2017 ESPN 30 for 30 "What Carter Lost."
