“My mom has never missed a practice or a game,” explains the offensive lineman of his greatest influences. “My dad has coached me throughout my career and is a huge reason for my development and success.”

When he does move onto the University of Alberta, Jacob will continue to succeed by the key things he’s learned on the field.

“Nothing of value comes free; in life or sport as long as you are committed, work hard and give effort, you will succeed,” says Jacob.
