Coach Lenahan's Take: “Like his brother Mike that plays for at Northwestern now, Jake is a phenomenal athlete. He is fast, strong, tough, and very good in the air. You combine these attributes with the added benefit being a left-sided player and you can see why we were so interested in him joining us here at Northwestern. With some tactical development and experience, Jake should find himself on the field and ready to take on the talented forwards of the Big Ten.”
