Schultz is actually both a great linebacker and tight end / wide receiver for Mount Carmel who has the ability to play either postiion at the next level. Like my colleague Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA , I believe Schultz is better suited to play linebacker at the next level. Very good athlete who shows plus awareness on both sides of the ball. Natural at both tight end and linebacker.

Jacob Schultz Jacob Schultz 6'2" | 185 lbs | LB Mount Carmel Area | 2024 State PA ‘s skillset is similar to Chris Lake Chris Lake 6'4" | 200 lbs | LB Malvern Prep | 2024 State PA ‘s. I think Schultz will be recruited to linebacker at the next level, yet Mount Carmel Area will gladly utilize his pass-catching ability on offense to provide a big target in the middle of the field. I would have a hard time passing up using Schultz on offense too, he’s natural with the ball in his hands and will have suitors looking for him to play TE at the next level. I’d prefer his skillset to OLB, however. Schultz can provide pass coverage in zone sets, you don’t see many kids this size be able to drop into flat/curl zones and take away passing lanes. He can improve in this area yet I can see him doing so at a proficient pace. Everything else is the cherry on top. His reps on offense translate to awareness on the defensive side of the football. I think he’s better than the 174th prospect in his class.
