Jacob Folkerts '21 Recruiting Profile

Basketball has been in my family since my mother was in high school. She played Varsity from sophomore year to Senior. I started a passion for Basketball back in 3rd grade. I was very tall for my age group so I had to advantage. 3-5th was nothing serious, just some feeder games and school games. 7th and 8th grade came and that when I started getting serious about basketball. My grade is the only team at my middle school to go undefeated both 7th and 8th grade in conference. Freshman year started and I was moved up to play sophomore. Sophomore year I had some Varsity time how ever was primary on sophomore. Junior year came along and I was a starter on Varsity most games. Then I was a center. I started playing with my club team and my coach told me with my height, I will be a shooting guard or a stretch 4 in college. Now with every game coming and every camp or expo I go to, I am a shooting guard. I hope to play in college at any level since Basketball is big for me. I want to be the first in my family to play a college sport.
