Right when one Kinkaid stops terrorizing QBs for the Bulldogs, another one comes in to continue to wreckage. Kinkaid’s efforts as a freshman earned him a spot on the varsity roster as the season went on. I don’t have a ton of tape on Jake but he flashes a lot of great traits you wish to see from a lineman. He’s smart with his hand use and has solid upper-body strength to swat away linemen. Kinkaid also gets off the ball pretty quickly, which when combined with his length, allows him to win off the edge. Jake is signed up to compete at Sunday’s Stock Up Showcase so I’m looking forward to seeing how he performs there.
