MacPhee is a raw TE prospect with incredible upside. I am very happy that I got to see him play against Lowell.

First off- size. Jacob is a true 6’6″ with long limbs. That alone will make college coaches consider recruiting you.

As for skill, Jacob is raw. Everything from his routes to blocking are equally underdeveloped. I will say Jacob has solid hands and can come down with contested catches, and he does fight for extra yards. In addition, Jacob usually plays off-ball.

Jacob could walk onto a D2 program and quickly earn the allure and trust of his coaches as long as he works his tail off. Live, breathe, sleep football, and Jacob has a shot to be a phenomenal college football player. For now, he’s ranked #204 around the middle of the pack.

Although his first sport is basketball, I could easily see Jacob earn a spot on a GLIAC football roster.

He’s a true 6’6″ with a long wingspan. He is slim for a tight end and lined up off the line of scrimmage the entire game. That said, Jacob is probably underdeveloped when it comes to blocking, just based on the lack of reps he got in that area yesterday. As a receiver, he’s an OK route runner, and I didn’t see enough to properly evaluate his hands. Jacob did have one catch in particular where he displayed great physicality and contact balance.

I’m sorry if I sounded a bit too critical. My point with Jacob is he’s a raw prospect with excellent upside. Because of his basketball background, he’s very athletic and knows how to maneuver his body (a ton of 6’6″+ athletes struggle with athleticism) So, with his athleticism, in addition to his size and length, I could see a ton of GLIAC programs loving his potential.
