A two-way player who I’ve slept on until recently.

Particularly, I’ve slept on Jack’s speed. Although I don’t have official testing times, Jack does provide several 40-yard dash videos on his Twitter, and it’s pretty clear that Jack is in that upper-echelon of speed, especially if he’s going to be a linebacker (or even safety) at Michigan State.

His tape, particularly on defense, is similar to a few other players. Extremely physical, a great tackler, solid ball skills, and solid (but not elite) coverage skills.
I think one thing that I failed to take into account was his offensive play. For one, colleges love dudes who can play both ways, and I know it’s especially important for DBs. Jack has some very impressive highlights at receiver, showcasing better-than-expected hands and contact balance.

That said, Jack should have his best season yet this year. I don’t know a player who earned their first BIG 10 offer this late into their high school career who didn’t have an elite work ethic. A lot of what Jack is doing rhymes with what I saw Ty Hudkins accomplish a few years back.
