Recruiting: Jacobs was ranked as a two-star linebacker coming out of and had been committed to Fresno State. The Badgers and Wake Forest among others were seriously considered before he made his decision.
Combine buzz: Among edge rushers, Jacobs ran the fastest 40 time at 4.48 seconds beating out Georgia’s Lorenzo Carter
(4.5) and Sweat (4.53). He also performed well in the broad jump and bench press.
Farrell’s take: Jacobs was a two-star and under-recruited out of high school, in other words a typical Wisconsin find. Few schools do better at finding guys like Jacobs, whose only other offers were from non-Power Five programs. He was a big kid out of high school but didn’t move that well and might have had to move to defensive end. He could run, but he was very raw. Now he’s moving up the draft boards.
