Jerry Jacobs - Cornerback Arkansas Razorbacks Scouting Report
JERRY JACOBS | Arkansas | DC | #1 | Sr | 5104 | 204 | Atlanta, GA | South Cobb
Overview:
Going into the season, Jacobs was seen as a very interesting prospect. He had a solid career at Arkansas State before transferring to Arkansas. He only played a few games before opting out of the season. Jacobs doesn’t stand out on tape. He is built well, weighing in at over 200 pounds. He is NFL ready in that department. His tape, though, just left a lot to be desired. He has played a limited amount of snaps over the past two seasons, and he hasn’t been good against better opponents. Jacobs isn’t very good against the run, and his instincts are nothing special. There is a lack of twitch to Jacobs’ game. He doesn’t make plays on film and is a non-factor for the majority of the game. Jacobs is worthy of being a tryout player, but that is about it.
