Really enjoy watching Jacob play on the field. He is an aggressive on ball defender who can drive his attack men out of the paint. He has good size and strength but also possesses strong clearing and with-ball skills. If he gets it, he can run by riders. Overall fundamentals are solid -- on, with, off ball. He can play at the next level and will contribute at the next college he attends. If you want more information about Jacob, please text me at 603-370-9181.
