Impact Player for Jacobs:
Jacobs senior four star ranked TE Grant Stec (6-foot-6, 230 pounds) is already verbally committed to Wisconsin. Stec, who will also start at defensive end for the Jacobs Golden Eagles again this fall is no question a key leader and two way impact player for this program again in 2023. Stec, who is a multi-sport athlete is an unquestioned leader for this team again this fall.
EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Jacobs Golden Eagles :
Jacobs and head coach Brian Zimmerman had a terrific 2022 regular season, posting a 8-1 overall record and winning the Fox Valley Conference conference crown. The Golden Eagles made the Class 7A state playoff field and lost to Brother Rice in Round 1 action to end the season. Jacobs in 2023 will look towards an experienced team that will feature several senior multi-year starters on both sides of the football. The defense will welcome back an impressive 9 starters while the offense will lean heavily on the offensive line with three starters back along with some key skill kids.
The biggest question for Jacobs this summer? Who can step up and replace a handful of key positions (QB/WR) lost to graduation? Overall I like this Jacobs team to again be a serious contender for the FVC title and to get back into the 7A state playoff field and hopefully make a deeper run this fall. Overall the FVC early on looks to be pretty stacked with multiple teams returning a ton of underclassmen talent. I see the Golden Eagles again as a potential 8-1/7-2 caliber team for the 2023 season.
