Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
Unlike most on this list, I do not think Jack is underrated. He has a good haul of offers, and it’ll be very interesting to see where he ends up committing. In the past week alone, Jack has picked up offers from Grand Valley State and Bucknell.
Jack’s abilities are well-documented. He’s a 6’4″ 235lb TE who can do it all. He’s a far above-average route runner, and importantly, has consistent hands. Additionally, he’s gotten even better at blocking this past season. He also has a ton of upside on the defensive side of the ball, likely as an outside linebacker.

I’ve talked about Jack quite a bit this year.
Camp after camp, Jack has performed extremely well. He’s a super well-rounded TE. He’s got good size, a solid athletic profile, good routes, and good hands. I don’t think Jack is an elite player, but he’s a dang good high school football player. Considering Northview’s successful 2024 season and their new transfer QB, I could see Jack helping lead the offense to another excellent season.

I beleive this was my second time watching Jack in person, and he confirmed my beliefs. Jack is a great receiving Tight End. Even though he’s taller and heavier than most receivers, Jack can still change direction, earn separation, and snag harder-to-catch balls. I also like Jack’s ability to box out corners and secure balls thrown a tad behind him.
Jack also earned an offer from Olivet Nazarene! Really awesome performance, and well-deserved college oppurtunity.

Jack left a good impression at a workout I watched a couple months back. He’s a player with good size, average length, and above-average route running. All around, he’s looking like a Division 3 prospect. However, Jack could boost himself up into the D2 range if he performs great this offseason. Even more likely, Jack could have a breakout Senior season. Northview is reloading and I expect them to have another good season. Jack could be a big part of Northview’s 2025 success, and he could be a late-bloomer D2 guy.

Jack has excellent upside as a tight end and linebacker.
I watched Jack pretty closely at the beginning of the tryout- and thought he did well. His routes on air were all solid but not excellent. Though still above average for someone his size.
What I liked most about Jack was his catch radius and overall hands. Jack has great hands and can even catch hard-thrown balls with one hand. Combined with his good size, Jack can be a solid D3 Tight End.
