Key fumbe recovery, 75 All-Purpose Yards, 3 tackles (2 solo, 1 assist) and two punt returns

You won’t find much tape on Jack who just transferred to Papillion La Vista recently, but he was a key component in the reps I watched for the Monarchs defense. He was a persistent tackler in the reps I got to watch and not only was that the case, you could grasp the instinctive vision Jack had to collapse on the ball carrier as they came near especially over the middle of the field. He was one that was rangy as well, that had the knockback physicality you wanted to see from your defensive back.

Senior Jack Jelinek Jack Jelinek DB Papillion-La Vista | 2027 NE did a great job playing the safety spot for the Monarchs, patrolling the deep field from any big plays. His vision and football IQ allow him to read the defense and QBs’ eyes before sharply breaking on the ball. Jack displayed solid range, from being able to get downhill in a hurry to having the depth to defend deep passes or move sideline-to-sideline; he was usually in a good spot to make a play. He’s willing to get physical with receivers by getting his hands up to bat away passes. Jack played with quick feet and loose hips, which help him stick to his matchup in coverage. Hidden gem prospect with upside!
