Jacod Westhoff capped off the regular season with 122 tackles.

Westhoff stayed red hot this whole 2026 football season and ended the regular season with 122 total tackles. Jacody is the man in the middle of a highly talented Springfield Catholic defense, he reads the opposing offense very well and brings the lumber going downhill on run plays. Jacody is also very gifted against the pass he flows sideline to sideline well, and even if the offense gets the completion Westhoff usually runs them down for minimal gain.

Catholic has a heavyweight bout against the Fair Grove Eagles this Friday and I can’t wait to see this young man go toe to toe with a heavy running football team.

Westhoff has had a big season already, this game he continued that trend.

Jacody Westhoff Jacody Westhoff 5'11" | LB Springfield Catholic | 2028 MO walked into this game aware that he was going to have a tough task stopping the run game of Kendall Piper and Tysyn Clark Tysyn Clark 5'9" | ATH Clever | 2027 MO . Westhoff was more than up to the task and stalemated both runners multiple times. He recorded multiple tackles last Friday night, but even when he didn’t make the tackle he seemed to be always in the right spot and clogged open running lanes for his teamates to rally and make the play.

Westhoff is one of the top tacklers in the state of Missouri and I don’t see him slowing down anytime soon.

Springfield Catholic has been on the rise in class 2A and Westhoff has been a reason why that is, racking up 83 tackles.

Jacody Westhoff Jacody Westhoff 5'11" | LB Springfield Catholic | 2028 MO has been on an absolute tear in 2026. I was a fan of the young man last season where he racked up just about 80 tackles. Now were sitting in the month of October and he has already eclipsed that number by three tackles and shows no signs of slowing down. Westhoff is a slasher at the linebacker position and uses speed and agility to maneuver his way around offensive lineman and find his way to the ball carrier. Catholic is undefeated in 2026 so far and the Irish defense has really shined around the Southwest area.

Westhoff is looking like he’s going to hit over 150 tackles and he is only a junior this year. He just keeps improving his game.
