COACH SAYS: Jacob returns this season as a key piece of our offensive line. Despite missing time last year due to a broken hand, Jacob has shown remarkable resilience and determination, putting in the work to prepare for a strong Senior campaign. His dedication in the weight room recently earned him a spot in our prestigious 1,000-Pound Club, and he has been a consistent presence throughout our offseason training. As he continues to grow into a leadership role, we fully expect Jacob to take a major step forward this year—both on and off the field.
