Jacob Kasten '20 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I was 5 years-old and started in my town’s flag football league. I love everything about the game, especially the brotherhood associated with being part of a team. I was a captain of my JV Football team in 2017. I was our team’s starting Center and starting Defensive Tackle playing both ways most games. I work out in the offseason lifting three times a week at my high school and working independently with an offensive-lineman trainer two times each week. I am committed to improving myself through hard work and dedication.

While I am only a sophomore, I know I want to pursue my undergraduate education at an institution the excels in both academics and athletics. I currently participate in the Project Lead the Way: Engineering program, and I hope to continue studying engineering in college. I have a 3.8/4.0 GPA, and have challenged myself with several honors courses and two AP courses.

Outside of school and football, I enjoy playing cards with my family and helping in my community by volunteering through the Poolesville High School Booster Club.
