Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Jacob Pappas‘ performance this last season was something of a surprise – not due to his ability, but the fact that St. Joseph’s Head Coach Bill Tracy’s offense evolved from a traditional Wing-T to more of a pass-first offense that showcased Pappas’ skills.
What the tape shows us is that Pappas’ route running can be video game-esque at times in terms of how tight and technical it can be. However, what might be his best ability is to find open space when the ball in his hands. Multiple times we see Pappas side-step over-pursing defenders as he cuts across the grain to reverse field. In the process, he does an exceedingly well job setting up his blockers. Similarly, Pappas is able to make a man miss in the open field when the square him up. I would describe his speed as deceptive, as he is prone to getting behind defenders. He also manages to get past them with hard jab and stutter steps that allow him to execute double-moves.
