Jack Deitsch '26 Recruiting Profile

My passion for football started when I was five years old where I played youth Football in New Jersey.  I’ve always dreamed of playing at the collegiate level. My Father just retired from the Military so we moved a lot which has given me the opportunity to play football for five different school districts, in three different States, completing 11 total seasons.  Despite all the moving I have maintained above average grades, currently holding a 3.9 GPA. 

I am a three sport Athlete playing football, basketball, and track.  I ran Varsity Track last year as a Freshman at Tocoi Creek High School in Florida, where I qualified for District in long jump, and State in the 4x100 relay (Placed 8th in the State).  We moved to Michigan in the summer of 2023, my Sophomore year. I earned my place on the Varsity Team as a Safety and Wide Receiver quickly learning new coaches, new teammates, and all new calls on both offense and defense.  I led the team with 123 tackles from the safety position including four tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, two interceptions, and eight pass break-ups.  Our team won both District and Regional titles.  I was selected for 1st Team All-Conference, All-State honorable mention, Cadillac area All-Area 1st team, and Big Rapids Pioneer Dream Team.   

I have always been complimented by Coaches for being a natural leader with great mental toughness, and I pride myself on sportsmanship and hard work on and off the field.  I have trained in CrossFit, Jiu Jitsu, speed and agility, and I spend a lot of time in the weight room during the off season to make me a better player on the field.
