Jacob is aggressive on ball and fundamental in his approaches. Plays and communicates well within team defense. Defends skip lanes and is a solid help defender in slide packages. Seamlessly can switch between playing LSM and Defense. The kind of pole that can get a GB on the wings or be the point defender to stop a fast break. He's a threat in transition after caused turnovers and clears. Intelligent and an organizing force on defense. Understands crease slides, COMA slides, perimeter/adjacent slides, and hedging concepts. He is fluid between 4 and 5 man MDD rotations. Solid knowledge of how to transition between man to man and zone defenses. He's a student of the game and works hard to know what his duties on the field are. I have coached him in club and coached against him for high school games. Jacob is a perfect fit for a coach looking to find the right prospect to shore up their defense and lead their team.
