About Jakoby
Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
I’m legitimately shocked that Jakoby doesn’t have more offers. I first mentioned Jakoby a couple years ago as a potential up-and-comer at Goodrich, citing physical running.
During his senior season, Jakoby totaled over 2,200 AP yards, alongside 10 TFLs, 3 forced fumbles, and 5 pass breakups.
Getting an updated in-person look at Jakoby in his semifinal game against Divine Child, I’m more confident than ever that Jakoby should be a Division 2 prospect. Really, the only thing Jakoby lacks is elite speed.
On both sides of the ball, Jakoby is extremely physical. Quick to stop the run, as well as bowl people over when he’s the ball carrier. Plus, Jakoby is an excellent (vocal) leader. I could go on and on, but I am shocked that Jakoby doesn’t have more opportunities.
