Penn State football is just 23 days away. The focus of this article has shifted from second-year player Jahmir Joseph to Curtis Jacobs, a linebacker who recently switched his number from #23 to #0. Jacobs, a standout from the James Franklin era, is considered one of the underrated linebackers Penn State has had. His stats, while not flashy, are impressive for a linebacker.
With 171 career tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks, Jacobs' performance was not far off players like Sean Lee, who had 29.5 TFLs and 11 sacks. After leaving Penn State following the 2023 season, Jacobs has had a series of stints on various NFL practice squads. He has played with teams including the Chiefs, Patriots, Titans, Giants, and a short stint with the DC Defenders in the AFL.
Now, he is back in the NFL with the Washington Commanders, with hopes of securing a permanent spot on a team this season.
