Expert Analysis

Caleb Holfoth

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Jacob is the hardest-hitting DB in the class, and his tape features some violent finishing. He plays the SS/LB type position you see a lot in high school, and I think he fits the SS/Rover role at the next level.

Coming downhill, he is one of the best Safety prospects in New York. In coverage, there is not a ton of tape to go off because he played in the box so often and mostly zone coverage in a run-heavy league. However, the college camp season and offseason workouts should help college coaches make a complete evaluation.

He played for South Shore this past season, will be with Erasmus Hall this upcoming season and is one of the top returning defensive players in the PSAL.

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Jacob was with South Shore this past season and was a key aspect of their secondary this season—he checks the measurables box as a safety. Although listed as a DB, there is potential he will transition to LB at the next level if he ends his high school career around 200 lbs.

The LB projection could be legit because on tape, he is one of the most violent tacklers in New York. He is now listed as going to Erasmus Hall, which should help his development in coverage, but physically, there are a lot of things to like.
