Offensive Line | 6'3 | 280
Crystal Lake South HS | Crystal Lake, Ill.
Crystal Lake South Head Coach Chuck Ahsmann
"I can't say enough great things about Jake. He works his butt off, lives in the weight room and is a great example to our younger kids. Vanderbilt has just a super individual in this young man.
"On the field, he's a real powerful blocker on the line of scrimmage. Physically, he's a monster, yet won't turn 18 until June. He's going to get a great deal stronger.
"Jake has that kind of size and moves well enough to play guard. He can definitely pull if that's called for in their offense. As a former baseball player, Jake also has good hands and excellent hand-eye coordination." |
