Jake Cipot Jake Cipot 6'1" | 195 lbs | TE/LB Saint James Royals | 2030 NJ proved to be a reliable and versatile weapon for St. James last weekend, standing out as both a big-bodied target and a surprisingly shifty playmaker. Lining up at tight end, he showed his ability to get open downfield and make life easy for his quarterback, highlighted by an effortless pitch-and-catch touchdown where he didn’t even have to fight for position. Cipot also impressed with his body control, securing a low throw around his legs and keeping the drive alive, while showcasing some unexpected elusiveness by shaking off would be tacklers in the open field. Jake’s combination of size, hands, and agility makes him a dangerous option in the passing game moving forward.

One of the top tight ends in the NJ 2030 class, Jake Cipot Jake Cipot 6'1" | 195 lbs | TE/LB Saint James Royals | 2030 NJ proved to be a downfield threat in his first game of the season. One of his best highlights was a pass thrown slightly behind him where he was able to slow his route down and one hand the ball for the score. He has extremely strong hands, and that was demonstrated not only on that catch but throughout the game.

Jake caught another ball along the sideline with his arms extended out to prevent it from bouncing off his pads. Lastly, I was impressed with Jake’s ability to feel the coverage. He was able to find the soft spot in the coverage on one of his catches and sit down to receive the easy catch. Jake is showing early signs of a high ceiling and football IQ to go with it.

Jack is a promising tight end prospect who consistently showed his ability to go up and snag the ball out of the air on Saturday. He made several impressive, contested catches, using his length and strong hands to win battles against defenders. With longer arms that give him the advantage of reaching over DBs, and a bigger frame that already looks the part of an freshman, Jack is only going to become more dangerous as he adds weight and strength. He’s definitely one to keep an eye on moving forward.

Joining brother Luke, Jake Cipot Jake Cipot 6'1" | 195 lbs | TE/LB Saint James Royals | 2030 NJ shares the same lineage of a family of coaches from that same Cipot family tree. A bit bigger than Luke, Jake is one of the few prospects that, especially at this young age, list himself as a tight end. Aside from the camp rendition of backyard football between Luke covering Jake, I look forward to him working against other linebackers and safties, alike.
