. Jacob doesn’t have any reported offers right now, but that could change within the first few weeks of the season. Gimla is about 10-15 lbs heavier than he was as a junior. That is exciting because as a junior Jacob was already putting DLs and LBs on their backs with his overpowering run blocking. Jacob has a strong initial punch when he meets his opponent that gets things flowing in the direction he wants. On top of the power, Gimla brings range to pull and kick out edge defenders or DTs. He turns that movement into power that clears the opponent out of the running lane. Jacob is a sleeper prospect that should create positive buzz this season.

I don’t know what they are feeding these Arrowhead OL athletes, but they know how to grow ’em and develop them. The breakout athlete from the group this season is the 6’6″ 275 lbs RG

. Jacob moves well with that big frame. We see him pull, reach, and get up to level two quickly and land key blocks. The big man clearly has heavy hands and a good base of power because it seems like every highlight ends with his opponent on the ground. You have to love that mentality to finish. Despite his big frame, Jacob doesn’t look out of place moving in space. The junior made a sizable jump from ’22 to ’23, so I’m excited for what this next year has to bring in his growth. Take a look at the tape below.
