Probably one of the more versatile linebackers I’ve seen in awhile. Can stay square to ballcarriers, fit the run inside the LOS and wrap up. Flashes being great in coverage, snagging interceptions. Can drive ballcarriers back and dent. Good overall, all-around prospect. Recorded 121 tackles, three sacks, 6 QB hurries and 6 pass breakups in 2024. Picked up his first Division I offer after strong college day performance.

Jacob played well as a Sophomore in 2023. His good play helped the Wadsworth Grizzlies to a 9-win season where they advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs and held opposing offenses to 17.8 points per game. He plays as a MLB. Against the run, he excellent lateral quickness and agility in pursuit before playing at a good pad level and exhibits great explosiveness as he delivers a powerful hit near the LOS. Against the pass, he quickly penetrates the open gap and displays great play speed with a very good motor in pursuit before finishing up with a sack.
