Coach Ruane says: Jack is a very athletic 2 way player who gets it. He competes, he is cerebral and he is very mature. Jack is poised for a big senior season on both sides of the ball and as a leader. We are looking for Jack to be a big play wide receiver and and outstanding corner on defense. He’s worked very hard to earn the opportunity.
