Four places to start a closer look at Jacob. Film first, source context alongside it, and a direct line to the family when you want more.
The line work
Two sides of the line. One number.
Watch the first step, hand placement and pad level. Start with the short cut, then use the longer reels for a closer evaluation.

Coach's Evaluation
"Current sophomore measurements are 6'5" and 290 pounds. The next evaluation belongs on the film."
Age 12 · The Turn
On the drive home one night, after he'd let himself slip, Jacob turned and said the words that changed everything. Structured training started the next week. He hasn't stopped since.
“Don’t ever let me stop.”
The commitment is player-driven, not parent-driven.The WorkTraining since age 11.
Training since age 11.
Documented+ sessions.
Still going.
AGE 11(2021)
Before anyone asked him to
Movement before position. Speed, agility, and footwork twice a week at NX Level — building the athletic base that every lineman technique depends on. Stance work, first-step quickness, hip mobility, change of direction. Three years before his first meaningful snap.
NX Level Sports Performance (opens in new tab)Investment precedes attention.
AGE 12(2022)
The turn
The car-ride moment. He'd let himself slip — and he recognized it before anyone else did. Structured strength training started the next week alongside NX Level. Trench Training with Joel Nellis — former Wisconsin Badger, now one of the state's top lineman development coaches — begins the same year. Learning the barbell and the position at the same time: stance mechanics, fit position, base block fundamentals. These numbers are not impressive. They are the floor.
Trench Training (opens in new tab)The commitment is player-driven, not parent-driven.
AGE 13(2023)
He built a team around himself
365 sessions. Personal trainer Justin Quintero at Performance Edge for compound strength — power cleans, front squats, bench, deadlift progressions built for OL/DL. Trench Training with Joel Nellis continuing — hand combat, punch timing, drive blocks, swim and rip moves, pass-rush technique. NX Level for speed and agility. IMG camps for national-level competition. Deliberate nutrition — protein-focused to build muscle, not just grow. Training alongside athletes two and three years older, by choice.
Four distinct training inputs at age 13. He stopped training for football — he started training like a football player.
AGE 14(2023-24)
Opponents heard his name before the snap
Started every game at both DT and OG — the full game, both sides of the ball. Opposing coaches called him out by name, told their players to watch for 79. Semi-finals — one of the last four teams standing. Key defensive player in every round. Started setting up and breaking down his own film between games.
When opposing coaches call out your number before the snap, the evaluation has already started.
AGE 15(2024-25)
Freshman on Varsity · Starter on JV
Called in to play varsity. Started and played full JV games. Football development at Pewaukee. Game-by-game individual statistics are held until their season attribution is confirmed.
This is year one of four. Everything you just saw is the floor.
AGE 15(2026)
The curve has not flattened
Sophomore football and track-and-field development is underway at Pewaukee High School. Family-reported measurements and sourced 2026 team results appear in the overview above.

Coach's Evaluation
"Years of documented work. Real facility. Real trainer. The kid is serious. But will he fit our locker room?"
TEAM FIRST
Developing on both sides of the line at Pewaukee. The film shows his work alongside his teammates.
COACHABLE
Learns from his peers just as much as his coaches. Takes correction, applies it the next rep.
MENTALLY TOUGH
Works with a mental performance coach through IMG Academy. Blocking noise, getting up after setbacks, leading when the scoreboard doesn't cooperate. He chose this training himself — because he understands that the mental game separates good from great. Every inch matters.
RELENTLESS
Has not missed a scheduled session since 2021. 1,000+. NX Level. Trainer. Discus. Shot put. Snowboarding. Football. He doesn't stop.
Coach's Evaluation
"Class of 2029. OL / DL. Football and track & field. Watch the current film, then contact the family directly."
Do the math
Class of 2029. OL / DL. 6'5", 290. Football and track & field. Three seasons of development still ahead.

DEVELOPMENT RUNWAY
6'5", 290 during his sophomore season. Three more years of structured development ahead — with the training infrastructure already in place.
WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR
A program with a strong D-line and O-line tradition where he can contribute on both sides of the ball. Development-focused coaching staff. Competitive culture.
