I wrote on his older brother Tyler two years ago, and Jacob Ess Jacob Ess Jacob Ess 5'11" | 185 lbs | LB/RB Waconia | 2028 State MN has been emerging already in his sophomore season as a solid piece for the Wildcats’ defense. Ess recorded 23 tackles, 2 TFLs, and an INT returned for a TD last season. His pick came off a perfect snatch on a RB checkdown route, and he has proven capable of containing the Edge both against the run and as an overhang defender against the pass. Ess also saw playing time at RB, and he has a good chance of competing for a starting role in the backfield in 2026. Ess has proven already to be a great fit at OLB, and he should remain a focal point of their perennially strong LB corps over the coming years.
