About Yakkob

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a smart Quarterback who can read defenses and can make throws under pressure. I lead the offense with leadership and confidence. I can stay calm in the pocket when going through my read.

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

I am mentally and physically tough, nothing can push me back or stop me. I am a coachable player and humble when it comes to my personality.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I did soccer my whole life but stopped in seventh grade for football. I have received various awards from school.

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

I try to help my teammates when they need to push through, or I lift them up when they are feeling down. I try to be a leader on and off the field, in the classroom and the weight room.

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

Not any major challenges but I’ve had to train to catch up to other QB’s in my grade. I’ve trained all summer for football and am ready and confident in my capability to run an offense.

What type of college are you looking for?

Any college that wants me.

One of a handful of 2029 QBs who looked way ahead of their curve, Tesfai seems ready for a breakout freshman season at the prep level. Not only was he in the upper echelon of underclassmen in terms of arm talent and the throws he was able to make, but he was also an extremely personable kid. Out of all the 28s/29s, Tesfai was among those who were able to push the ball the furthest downfield. He’s able to throw a tight spiral and get the ball out quickly on short routes.
