Highlights
"Jacob is an extremely gifted athlete. His accomplishments on the football field have been remarkable. He was an All-League Honorable mention performer last year and I expect him to earn All-League honors this year as a senior. He is a leader on and off the field and can always be counted on to bring his "A" game every day. He leads the offensive line with confidence and compassion, always setting the example in all he does. He also leads them in the classroom and has earned recognition on multiple occasions for his excellent work. In all, Jacob is one of the most well-rounded cadet-athletes in the Corps and is very deserving of this award."
