Jake is a triple-threat scorer with a lethal shooting touch and unlimited range, making him a defender’s worst nightmare. With his strong handles and crafty scoring ability, he finds his spots with ease . But his three-point shot is where the real heartbreak happens. Whether he’s catching fire off a screen or gliding off-ball to his favorite spots, it’s pure magic when Jake lets it fly. Add in his solid defense and underrated playmaking, and you’ve got a complete player who thrives under pressure.
Last season, Jake was a role player, averaging just 8 points and 2 assists per game. This season, he’s become a star, exploding to 25 points, 4 assists, and 1 rebound per game. The leap is staggering, but it’s no accident. His growth as a scorer, combined with a newfound maturity, has fueled this transformation. Jake’s focus is becoming an even better defender, knowing that two-way excellence will elevate him to the next level.
Jake’s record-breaking 11 three-pointers in a single game at Wesley Christian made a bold statement: he’s here to dominate. Competing in the Grind Session against some of the best teams in the country, Jake holds his own, embracing every challenge with relentless determination. His ultimate goal is simple—win as many games as possible—and he knows that playing as a team is the key to a deep tournament run.
What fuels Jake’s fire is the doubt that surrounded him when he made the leap to prep school. Every game is an opportunity to silence the critics, and he thrives on proving them wrong. When adversity strikes, Jake leans on his hard work and trust in the countless hours he’s spent in the gym. For him, the best advice he’s received is to “just go and have fun playing the game you love.” That joy and confidence shine through every time he steps on the court.
Off the hardwood, Jake loves to unwind with golf and video games, showing his laid-back side. But when it comes to basketball, he’s all business. His scoring ability has drawn the attention of colleges, with an offer from Tennessee Wesleyan and interest from Mercyhurst (D1), Emerson Bible College (D2), and Southwest Virginia (JuCo). More than validation, these opportunities reflect his ability to thrive against top-level talent.
As the season unfolds, Jake’s stock is poised to rise even higher. Competing on a national stage has solidified his reputation as a dynamic scorer, and his determination to improve his defense shows he’s committed to his evolution. Keep your eyes on Jake as this monster season is just getting started, and it will be a fun ride . Stay tuned!
