Jakobe is our new DB4 in the SD 2027 class that climbed up with his recent tape from the watchlist and is one that despite the size at the moment, is quite rangy for those measurables he has at his disposal. He is a defensive back that you can’t miss on the work ethic he has as he’ll be a player in your secondary that will go run down a ball carrier downfield even being a ways from the play. He’s also a great ball-tracker at corner and I think there’s even more upside he could develop with that skillset going forward. He was an honorable mention on the All-Metro team in the 2025 season and could certainly be a jumper amongst this DB group.

, JaKobe enters as a newcomer to our rankings as our DB7 in the 2027 class. The 5’8 145 pounder from Sioux Falls Lincoln shows off quick on tape as a cornerback that can push the ball out of a bigger wide receiver with his persistence tracking the ball. He seems like a cornerback that has a solid football IQ and one that will continue to grow in the coming years and JaKobe. His presence gets even better when you watch his tracking ability on deep routes, as Jakobe consistently shows a 2027 corner that is usually in the right spot at the right time. One that I can already guarantee that will rise in this class.
