I have just verbally committed to continue my college football career at Florida Atlantic University #GoOwls #HootSalute

And those are some pretty decent athletic numbers listed there too.
Welcome to the Owls Jacob!
Wouldn't be surprised if he starts for us next year.
Now I agree 5'9" is kinda short and 5'11" is not "ideal" but if he is 5'11"
that is no real hindrance, especially with his athletic numbers; speed, strentgh, vertical leap, etc…
And making 1st team 8A All-State is great. Now why no other offers let alone BigBoy offers??? Grades? Other?
I don't have the answers and nobody else does either, I just hope we have uncovered a real late bloomer (THINK MACK GUYS!) AND HOPE WE GET HIM TO SIGN THE NLI AND QUALIFY ACADEMICALLY.
He looks pretty darn good to me on the tape!
