His best-fitting offers first; pick any 4 of Jacob's 37 to compare. Green is the best in each row. Room counts the players at his spot with two or more years left. Players like him: up to five past recruits whose offer boards looked most like his and who signed at that school, from classes whose careers are over; a real season means 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions. Offensive linemen and defenders from classes before 2016 are not in that row: the box score does not count linemen's work and has no tackles before 2016. History, not a forecast for him. How fit is made.

No rate for a real season here: the stats can judge only 1 of those, because the box score does not count offensive linemen's work. History, not a forecast for him.

Past recruits whose offer boards looked most like his: same position, about the same size, offers from programs of the same strength, about as many. Past boards are offers at signing day; his is the board he holds today (Nov 12, 2026). Classes 2016 to 2025 are thin in our record today, so most matches come from 2010 to 2026. 10 of these 10 have finished their draft window. History, not a forecast for him.
