Coach Taynor's Quote: "I am very excited that Jake is a Blue Knight.  He is an excellent free safety with a nose for the football as evidenced by his 7 picks in the 2009 season.  He runs the alley very well against the run and is always in the right place at the right time on the field.  Along with his athletic prowess he is an exemplary student and embodies the 'Want To - Tempo - US' character we want to build our program around."
