Jakob Weisbrod '14 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jakob Weisbrod. I am currently a 5’ 9” 132# varsity wrestler in Clark, South Dakota with a GPA of 3.6 and will graduate in 2014.

 I began wrestling AAU at age 11 and was a state placer every year until 2012 after which I became age ineligible. I began wrestling varsity in the 7^th grade and am also a 4 time letter winner. My Sophmore Varsity season included winning three high school tournaments, District runner-up, Regions runner-up and Placed 4th in the SD State Tournament. I was awarded the the team MVP, Captain Award and Hustler awards.This was followed by placing second in the 2012 AAU State Tourament at 138 pounds. My Freshman Varsity season included winning three high school tournaments, District Champion, 3rd place Regions and was a state qualifier. I followed by becoming the 2011 AAU Cadet State Champion at 130 pounds.

I was also the varsity football kicker. My Junior year I lead the state in kick yardage and average kick off distance. I also lead the state in point after kicks with a 25-27 record of a team that made it to ths state semi-finals. My Sophomore year scoring 19 of 25 extra point attempts for a team with a record of 6-2 during regular season.

My goals for the upcoming 2013 wrestling season include placing in the top three at the Varsity Sate Tournament,  and to provide a positive impact on my entire team through mentorship, leadership, team spirit and a positive attitude.

 I believe I will be an asset to any team with a strong drive and leadership qualities as demonstrated as a team captain. I believe in working not only hard but smart.

 Upon high school graduation I wish to continue as a student athlete seeking to develop my spirit, mind and body. Most importantly, I wish to continue my education in a challenging environment. I am very interested in a pre-med program because ultimately I plan to pursue a career as a pediatric surgeon. I prefer to attend school in a Christian environment in a medium size to small college in the Mid-West or South East, but I am open to other opportunities if I feel that the atmosphere would be a good match.
