About Jake

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with a high motor, I play with relentless aggression and I love hitting people, I use my first step and my lateral agility to get by lineman. I never stop playing, I have high energy and I never give up.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am a very motivated and committed person. You can ask my coaches and my family they would agree. I am a leader and my mentality when I play is no one will work harder then me and I will do anything to get that win. I don’t care if I have a broken leg I am gonna play and I am gonna play hard.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Leadership is something I have, I love leading especially because when you love something so much and when you want to win you want to see people do well to and experience that. Teamwork is something I strive for to. I always try to get my teammates to work together and try to be a team

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Freshman year I was given an opportunity to play on varsity. I was 6’1 170 pounds but I played hard. Everyday I got my butt kicked. I wanted to win but I also wanted to be great so badly that nothing was gonna stop me from getting to where I wanted to be. I took that experience and I learned and matured from it by week 3 I had become a starter. No matter how hard it got I never gave up.

What type of college are you looking for?

A college that pushes there players and a college that loves to win. I feel every college wants to win but not every college puts all that work in. I want to be apart of a culture that supports people always trying and that doesn’t bring down people for trying.

Stats: 7 Tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 FR

Even while being asked to primarily play OL in Week 1 Jake was able to put together some impressive defensive highlights. The long, lean edge defender caught my eyes with his outstanding burst off the line of scrimmage, range in the backfield, and closing speed that ended with violent collisions. It was great to see him be able to stay home, set the edge, force the ball inside, and make the tackle as a run defender. Jake looks better than ever, showing three down potential with a very safe floor of being an explosive pass rusher off the edge.
