The Jerk Jock's answer to the Lovable Alpha Bitch or the Class Princess. It is typical in most high school settings to have the jock as the bad guy but this trope is a method of portraying jocks in a positive light. After all, people don't automatically turn into sociopaths the moment they join a sports team. The Lovable Jock differs from the Lovable Alpha Bitch in that while the Alpha Bitch can still be a bully to everyone except the main character to count, the Lovable Jock will be a Nice Guy by default. Though sometimes connected to one, he is rarely the main man of the high school and will usually be in contrast to an actual Jerk Jock. If the Jerk Jock is blond, the Lovable Jock may be brunet(te) or redheaded, though blond(e) Lovable Jocks are common too. But that isn't a license to try anything funny on him or anyone he cares about; remember, being a jock means lots of exercise and quite often a lot of muscle. If anyone dares to try Bullying a Dragon or attacking his Protectorate, he will wipe the grass with them. In many a sports setting, a Lovable Jock is The Hero (and The Leader if he has a team) of these stories by default. If not, expect him to be The Lancer or even a friendly sidekick. Both the Lovable Jock and his team will also be countered by an Opposing Sports Team in some scenarios. A Face in Professional Wrestling is usually this, although he's not immune to using harder methods as aforementioned if someone messes him off. A variation can come where the Jock is merely too stupid to be genuinely spiteful, in which case compare Kindhearted Simpleton. At other points, the Jock is a Genius Bruiser and Academic Athlete, and gets on with nerds and other sorts because he's capable of holding a conversation with them, and may himself be geeky about the sport he plays. Doubly so if the sport he plays is Baseball, in which case see Game of Nerds. Female cheerleaders or athletes who are not the Alpha Bitch can go here instead of Lovable Alpha Bitch since that trope is reserved for the actual Alpha Bitches. Speaking of female characters, a Lesbian Jock can be an example too. The Jock need not be on the football team, but on any other sports team in any setting. Both are Truth in Television. Compare and often overlaps with The Quarterback, Big Man on Campus, and Gentle Giant. |

Kamen Rider Fourze: Shun Daimonji, the school's star quarterback. He starts off as a Jerk Jock taken to such an extreme that he even interferes with Fourze defeating the Monster of the Week because of a grudge with the titular Kamen Rider. Later, though, he owns up to his father) and works toward becoming a better person. He even joins the Kamen Rider Club and assists Fourze in battle by piloting the Power Dizer. | |

Scream Queens (2015): Chad Radwell. While initially appearing to be a straight-up Jerk Jock, it's revealed that his best friend is gay and he's completely accepting of it - even warning his Alpha Bitch of a girlfriend not to spread rumours about it in case he gets bullied. More Hidden Depths to Chad are revealed as the series goes on - to the point where he walks out on his family after they're rude to Chanel and Hester. By the end of the first season, he's one of only two people in the main cast who has not yet tried to murder someone. | |

Mitch from ParaNorman is of the Dumb Jock variety. He a nice guy who has a strong Big Brother Instinct towards his younger brother Neil; despite this Mitch shares the low opinion the rest of the town has toward Norman. Even telling Neil, he should not hang around Norman because of his reputation. However, Mitch was never mean to Norman directly, agrees to drive everyone to look for Norman when he was missing, became a believer in his gift to see ghosts, and finally stands up to the townsfolk when they want to hurt Norman. | |

Jammer from the "Misfits and Magic" campaign of Dimension 20 was the Big Man on Campus at his old school and a gifted basketball player, and his first priority upon arriving at Gowpenny Academy is to start playing whatever sports they have. He's also the Team Mom, encouraging his friends at every step and helping keep Evan calm when his powers start acting up, and has no problem being friends with students who some would consider "uncool." | |

Most of the hockey bros in Check, Please!, overlapping with Academic Athlete in Shitty and Ransom's cases, although the two main characters don't play it quite straight. Bitty, the protagonist, is much more In Touch with His Feminine Side than the stereotypical male student athlete, and Jack is an emotionally inept perfectionist with anxiety issues, but they're both very sympathetic characters. | |

Ethan Wright from the Cool Kids Table game Creepy Town. He's not too bright, but he's polite to everyone he interacts with. Shannon liked him enough that she brought him back for Sequinox. JT from Bloody Mooney is an average jock (his claim to fame is a single catch in middle school, though it was a pretty good one). As such he's nicer than others. He also gets bullied by Keri. Ethan returns for Sequinox and is just as nice a guy. |

The girls on the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw Quidditch teams in the Harry Potter books. Both Harry's girlfriends Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley played the same position as him, although Ginny only substituted for him in three games, the first two because of Umbridge's hostile takeover of Hogwarts, and third due to detention. She otherwise played as a goal-scorer. It's worth noting that there are no girls playing for Slytherin and Hufflepuff, the two teams shown with more Jerk Jock players than the others. | |

Stretch is apparently very popular; when he accidentally vandalizes the school in "Stuffed Gopher", Miss Brooks and Walter get a crew of students to fix the damage and cover for him. | |

In Under the Northern Lights, Prince Vigg can be an immature brat but is usually quite a nice guy. His greatest interest seems to be winter sports, mostly skiing both cross-country and downhill. He and his friends have apparently invented the snowboard as well. | |

Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Jason Lee Scott participates in a number of athletic activities, with martial arts being his main focus. His outgoing, athletic nature makes him a natural leader of the Power Rangers, and he functions as a Big Brother Mentor to geeky Billy Cranston, building Billy's self-confidence by teaching him martial arts. Jason's Friendly Rival Tommy and Jason's successor Rocky also qualify. They love martial arts as much as Jason and are among the nicest, friendliest people you will ever meet. and Power Rangers Turbo: T.J. is charming, friendly and served on his high school baseball team. Carlos is a soccer player and has something of an edge, but hues closer to this trope than Jerk Jock. Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Shane and Dustin are into skateboarding and dirt biking respectively. They are also pretty friendly, goofy and outgoing. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder: Conner McKnight a star soccer player at Reefside High. While he starts off closer to a Jerk Jock, he quickly bonds with Ethan and Kira, and he grows kinder over time. He retains some of his rougher edges for much of the show, but is firmly a Lovable Jock by the end. |

King of the Hill: In the episode "Peggy Makes the Big Leagues", Peggy meets a talented football player named David who is allowed to stay on the team in spite of his poor grades. When Peggy flunks him, therefore suspending him from the team because of the school's "no pass, no play" policy, it's the teachers and booster club who come after her and practically ostracize her, not David. In fact, throughout the episode, David was never seen as anything other than somewhat oblivious and entitled yet ultimately good-natured. When the booster club made a plan to make him look like he had a learning disability, he was furious and embarrassed to realize how easy it was for them to portray him this way because of how lazy he's been with academics. He comes to Peggy for help, admitting that he knows he's not that smart and hates feeling stupid, so he usually doesn't even bother trying with schoolwork since the other teachers will let him. When he shows he's willing to work hard to learn, Peggy ultimately decided to let him play. | |

American Vandal: Deconstructed in the second season with Demarcus, the school's star basketball player. He's a charming, back-slapping, hail-and-well-met-fellow sort, always joking around with the other students. But those interactions often have something of an insulting edge, and Demarcus is certainly not above manipulating the school's devotion to athletics for his own benefit. For his part, Demarcus admits that he doesn't know if anyone in the school actually likes him, and his smiling persona is often an attempt to paper over the awkwardness of being a prominent black student in a heavily white school (one of his white friends assumed he had N-Word Privileges with Demarcus, for example). | |

The Big Bang Theory: Penny's ex-boyfriend Zack has all the hallmarks of a big Dumb Jock mentally stuck in his late teens, but is also genuinely good-natured and kind and views the nerds as friends, especially Leonard. It helps that he shares a lot of their interests like comic books and video games, and finds their work in science cool even if he doesn't understand it. In his first appearance, the gang are visibly confused at having someone like him being so nice to them rather than bullying them. If anything, they are often the ones making fun of him, taking advantage of the fact that he is too stupid to realise they are insulting him. | |

This is the normal personality of Brother America in Scandinavia and the World, presented as a big, sorta dumb and obnoxious but always well-meaning jock. This changed in the period when he was possessed by the Trump skin blob when he became horrible to everyone, and America's nicer personality traits were taken up by Sister America. Eventually, the blob fissioned off to become an independent character, and Brother America returned to normal (the author has admitted he just missed the big lug too much to leave him possessed). | |

For all that, though, he was more or less going along with it when Sean was making plans to cripple a slower-moving player on their team, until the adventure happens. When he returns he finds his courage and denounces Sean. | |

13 Reasons Why: Jeff is the lone Nice Guy among the jocks, who get ridiculous privilege because of their athletic success. When Clay helps him with his schoolwork, he responds by trying to set him up with girls. Making it all the more heartbreaking when it's revealed he died in a car accident months ago. Zach seems to also be slightly nicer than his meathead teammates. He makes something of a Heel–Face Turn in the finale. |

Pathfinder: Kurgess is the Neutral Good god of bravery, sports, and competition. Born a mortal, he died saving the other competitors in a race from a trap set by his jealous rivals, and he's carried on that good nature into godhood. His itinerant priests often take up carpentry and make wooden toys to give to kids at sporting events, and they're known to provide minor healing for free to adventurers who regale them with tales of their bravery or best them in a test of strength. | |

In fact, it's his insistence to hang out with "losers" like the stoner kids that proves to be a main point of contention between himself and his coach and some teammates, especially Jerk Jock Benny. | |

Jules from Final Fantasy VII Remake is very much this, being nothing but supportive and encouraging to Cloud, Tifa, and everyone else in his gym, he also shares his brother Andrea's open-mindedness and appreciatively commends Cloud's dance performance at the Honeybee Inn. In fact, going one step beyond, he even chastises Ronnie, one of his bodybuilding buddies, for being a Jerk Jock, pitting him in a squat-off against the considerably skinnier Cloud for the sole reason of serving Ronnie a helping of humble pie and teaching him not to be so superficial and full of himself. | |

Glee: Several examples Mike and Matt are probably the only ones to have never bullied anyone and are immediately True Companions with the glee kids. The same goes for Sam, who was initially the target of bullying and so is more of a glee kid who happens to be a jock than the other way around (which probably is also Artie, too, though he is in a wheelchair). Finn and Puck (after some Character Development) also count. Finn was more immediately kind and is the Quarterback, whilst Puck took longer and more realisation that high school bullying is fickle. And the same goes for Karofsky, who is a nice guy and even dates Blaine for a short while after coming to terms with his sexuality. Out of the cheerleaders, Brittany probably counts as this since though she is part of the Power Trio, she is too sweet and dumb to be a Lovable Alpha Bitch, compared with the others. |

Kuroko's Basketball: Subverted with Kuroko, who is a very nice and polite individual, but lacks the athleticism to fit this trope. Even with all his improvements, he's still below the level of the average player (for the most part). Kagami falls into this from time to time after he becoming a full-fleshed member of Seirin. He's respectful to his coach and senpai, he's nice to his fellow first-year teammates and supportive to Kuroko. He's still a very aggressive player with a hot temperament though. Kiyoshi, one of the Five Uncrowned Kings, is always friendly and cheerful (unless he's pissed) and very supportive towards his teammates, and puts the safety of his team above his own. Kise, while occasionally very arrogant, becomes this soon after his debut and losing to Seirin. Even when the members of Generation of Miracles started to become Jerk Jocks, Kise never became a full jerk and he was always nice to Kuroko. Aomine, the Ace of the Generation of Miracles, was originally this, encouraging Kuroko to continue practicing and he was overall a very friendly and happy individual. Then he felt Lonely at the Top and descended into a Jerk Jock. Even after mellowing out, he has never fully returned to being a Lovable Jock. |

The majority cast of Haikyuu!! are technically all jocks, with some——particularly our two main characters, being more passionate than others. And it is an absolute joy to watch these characters interact and play the game that they all love. | |

Final Fantasy: Jules from Final Fantasy VII Remake is very much this, being nothing but supportive and encouraging to Cloud, Tifa, and everyone else in his gym, he also shares his brother Andrea's open-mindedness and appreciatively commends Cloud's dance performance at the Honeybee Inn. In fact, going one step beyond, he even chastises Ronnie, one of his bodybuilding buddies, for being a Jerk Jock, pitting him in a squat-off against the considerably skinnier Cloud for the sole reason of serving Ronnie a helping of humble pie and teaching him not to be so superficial and full of himself. Tidus and Wakka from Final Fantasy X. Really most of the Besaid Aurochs count. The Kilika Beasts are also shown to be nice enough. |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Nanao Hibiya, The Lancer of the series, is a middling student academically but excels at the athletic sides of Kimberly's curriculum: born into a samurai family, she's been swinging a sword since she was big enough to pick one up, and her experience as a cavalrywoman turns out to be very useful in riding flying broomsticks. She loves her friends as passionately as she loves swordplay, and has a lot of empathy for antagonistic students that is prone to inducing Heel Face Turns. | |

Dear Children, a comic about a band of misfit high school teens who chase ghosts, surprisingly has several likeable athletes, including: Cailin Carver, one of the main characters, is a ghost-obsessed girl one of whose ambitions is to join in girls' sports at her school. She is a Nice Girl who is friendly and kind to others. Leo Fitzgerald, a side character, is a huge handsome hairy guy who is one of the highest-status students in the school, captain of the football team, and incredibly good to everyone with whom he deals, ranging from his equally high-status girlfriend Paige (whom he deeply loves) to Gabe, whom he had just met. |

Sonic the Hedgehog, usually characterized as cocky and somewhat aloof, yet friendly and laidback. He's also a Big Brother Mentor of sorts to Tails and is always supportive of him.

Spider-Man: While Flash Thompson is arguably the Trope Codifier of the Jerk Jock, he actually transitioned into becoming this after he and Peter started attending college. Even his high-school self, though often cruel and petty, had his moments. For all his bullying of Peter, Flash's admiration for Spider-Man was genuine and went deep enough that he remained a vocal Spidey supporter even when the rest of New York was convinced that Spidey was a murderer. | |

Larry the Lobster is easily the strongest character in SpongeBob SquarePants but he's also the friendliest after Spongebob himself. However, in a case of Early-Installment Weirdness, the season one episode "Ripped Pants" features a song with lyrics about how "big Larry came around just to put [Spongebob] down". This is especially odd because even in this episode, Larry is portrayed as friendly. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rainbow Dash is somewhat rude and insensitive, but will always stay true to her friends. Unlike most female examples, she's not a cheerleader, but a racer. Not to mention she is very good with children, especially Scootaloo. She has an interest in sports outside of racing, if a few episodes are to be believed, making her a good example of this trope. Applejack is a less boisterous example, mostly. On a few occasions, Rainbow Dash can show shades of Jerk Jock, while Applejack is more unambiguously this trope. |

The Bolt Chronicles: Nice guy Bolt goes on daily conditioning runs, is able to do full backflips, and remains in top shape well into old age. In "The Wedding Reception," Mittens refers to Bolt as "the closest thing I've ever seen to Bo Jackson in the dog world." Specific examples: In "The Ski Trip," Bolt is able to downhill ski by standing on all fours on a pair of skis (with Mittens and Rhino in tow) despite never having attempted this before. His somewhat awkwardly executed success is attributed to "his crouched stance and decent sense of balance." In "The Baseball Game," Bolt is pressed into playing duty while serving as honorary team Mascot mascot. He scores the winning run as a pinch-runner for an injured player (demonstrating significant speed and leaping ability), and later clinches victory when he pulls off a triple play manning second base despite lacking a glove and the ability to throw a baseball properly (showing alertness and quick reflexes in addition to the qualities mentioned above). |

Bring It On was one of the first mainstream films to show cheerleading as a legitimate athletic pursuit, and subvert a lot of the negative stereotypes surrounding cheerleaders.

In Spider-Girl Mayday Parker started out as belonging both to the jocks and the nerds of Midtown High. Her good friend Davida Kirby is a straighter example of this trope. | |

Basketball player Wakamatsu in Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is friendly to everyone he meets, even Loving Bully Seo. His way of trying to express his annoyance is to glare at her, but since he doesn't want to be rude he also greets her at the same time. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy herself might count, as she was a cheerleader in her last school and she attempts to join them again. Back in her old school she just appeared to be a bit ditzy as opposed to actually mean. | |

Yotsuba Nakano of The Quintessential Quintuplets is the most athletic amongst her sisters (the school's basketball and track teams wish to recruit her full time) and she's also the nicest out of her sisters, being always bright and full of energy and with a penchant for never saying no whenever someone asks her for help. | |

Total Drama Legacy: Storm. In contrast to the Total Drama series' previous tomboyish and athletic girls Eva and Jo, Storm is a Nice Girl with a heart as big as her muscles. Wayne. He may be a Dumb Jock, but he means well in spite of his stupidity. Due to the Adaptational Nice Guy treatment he receives in this fic, Lightning is this. |

The professional UFC fighters on Bully Beatdown often come across as this since the whole premise of the show has them defending and avenging the little guy. This is particularly true of the host Jason Miller, who started the show partly because he was bullied as a child. | |

Emi Ibarazaki and Miki Miura from Katawa Shoujo. Both are talented track runners despite their physical handicaps (Emi had her legs amputated and runs with prosthetics, Miki lost a hand and had only her stump), as well as very lovable persons. And Emi is one of the five possible love interests as well! Getting her route, however, will show the player that while Emi is a genuinely kind girl, she's got far more issues than you'd think. | |

Mob Psycho 100 has the Body Improvement Club, a school club consisting of a group of fitness freaks that the hilariously scrawny Mob joins in hopes of improving himself. Even though he can’t remotely keep up with their strenuous fitness regimen, they respect that he tries his hardest and legitimately care for him as a friend rather than as a powerful esper like most others in his life. When Mob is threatened, the whole club doesn’t hesitate to go out and protect him. | |
