Jacob Smith '20 Recruiting Profile

I started playing football when I was nine years old. I was named rookie of the year for numerous quarterback sacks as a nose guard and I loved it. Still do. I'm strong, fast and have a knack for following the ball. It wasn't until recently that I thought it even possible for me to play college ball but I know now that is what I want to do. My desire is to play for NAU but I'm not limited to that. I attend camps and combines in the off season to improve and keep my skills up but also just love to keep playing football. At one point I wanted to pursue fire science to be a fireman if football didn't work out for me but I find more recently that I really like helping people that are down and want to pursue psychology. For now I have one more year of high school and will be captain in the position of middle linebacker. May even try tight end because I have the speed to get down field and have no problem catching the ball. The camps I attend are B2G, Offense-Defense and various college camps.  Also do combines whenever possible. This past year I played as an MVP recipient at the O-D All American Bowl. I am a team player with a great attitude, sportsmanship and a leader and am teachable.
