Major:
Broad area social studies.
Why did you choose to attend UWRF?
Because of its teacher education program and it was a school where
I had an opportunity to continue playing football.
Why did you choose to play football at UWRF?
The coaches had great passion and enthusiasm. I also thought I could
contribute at this level.
What is your most memorable high school football moment?
Getting to carry the ball once and because I was an offensive lineman
it was pretty exciting. Also getting to play against Jimmy Leonard who
is now one of the best players in college football.

Beating Eau Claire in double overtime in 2001. Also the comeback we
had against Platteville this year. That shows the great character of this
team.

I want to be a good leader, catch a pass (the first in my career)
and for the team to win the conference title.
List your hobbies.
Hunting and fishing.

My Dad and other family members. And my offensive line coach from
high school.
List your career goals.
I hope to become a high school social studies teacher and football
coach.

My Dad and Mom, coaches and especially my teammates - our team is
like one big family.
Coach John O'Grady comments:
“Jake has been a pleasure to coach during his years here. He
dealt with an injury last year, but has returned stronger and tougher
for his senior year. He has also done well in the classroom."
