Jacob is a do it all LB with good size at 6’0″ 206lbs with an impressive 9’3″ SBJ. He is physical attacking player who flies to the ball and can come downhill and strike. At the Showcase he demonstrated fluid hips and smooth transitions. He runs well, is light on his feet – allowing him to open up to turn & run, as well as sticking his foot in the ground and come downhill with explosiveness. He impressed me on the day with his overall athleticism and smoothness in drills. Jacob also showed well in 1v1s, able to stay with RBs and attack the ball. Jacob is a player who will have impressive senior tape and will be a take at the D2 level.

Jacob Gall is a smart, high-effort linebacker with a knack for finding the football in run defense. When left unblocked, he shows a good burst and makes plays in the backfield. Many of his highlights show Gall has a good feel for scraping over the top and doesn’t get lost when plays break down inside. I like the effort he gives as well; he never gives up on plays and often assists on tackles. Gall has a solid understanding of blocking schemes and where he fits in the run defense. He maintains pursuit lanes and keeps vision on the ball carrier. If he intends to stay at the linebacker position at the next level, he’ll need to bulk up and get quicker laterally. Gall has a senior season coming up, meaning another opportunity to put more on tape.
