K92 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Here's JJ's 247 page. It still has the Hudl highlight video, but also contains his offer list. https://247sports.com/player/jestin-jacobs-46051496 Quote
CDMac Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks @K92 - Loved this kid's video. I'd almost want to play him at S with the coverage and ball skills he shows but at 6'3 210 and still room to grow, he would be an amazing sideline to sideline LB.
