Impact Player for Jacobs
Jacobs and head coach Brian Zimmerman has been able to develop some nice players sent to the high college level. Jacobs senior TE/DE PJ Prince Barnes is an eyeball passing athlete who has the physical tools to play at a high college level. Barnes has been drawing various FBS/FCS interest and he has a chance to raide his recruiting stock this fall.
Looking or a sleeper name to watch this fall for Jacobs? Keep an eye on Jacobs junior QB Connor Goehrling (6-foot-4, 200 pounds) who is a big, strong signal caller who's starting to draw mire recruiting traction this summer.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Jacobs Golden Eagles
Jacobs and head coach Brian Zimmerman is seeking it's fourth straight IHSA state playoff berth this coming season. Zimmerman, who is a Lincoln Way alum has posted a 24-12 record in four seasons as the head coach at Jacobs
The biggest question facing Jacobs this summer?
Can the Golden Eagles win the Fox Valley Conference title and when will this program get past the quarterfinal round of the IHSA state playoffs? Jacobs over the past handful of years has improved greatly as a program and is becoming a consistent winner. The always rugged FVC is always a challenge year in and year out and 2024 will be no different but I can see this team taking on all comers in the FVC. Getting into the 7A quarterfinal round and winning that game no question remains a program goal and I can se this program making that happen sooner rather than later in my opinion.
