Deshawn Jackson... Smaller but just so versitle. It'll be interesting to see what happens next year considering most of our offense returns.

Marshall, Zeke, Jacobs, and hopefully even Gibson will be interesting people to watch. They all have talent that will explode in this offense.

The thoughts stewed in Taivon Jacobs?s head during the bus ride to C.H. Flowers. From the late touchdown that sealed the Jaguars? upset of Suitland in last year?s Maryland 4A South region final to the pain of losing an undefeated season, they all forged a tune of motivation in the senior?s mind. ?I was thinking about it the whole ride over, about how we lost to them, and it just made me that much more ready to play,? Jacobs said of his mind-set prior to Saturday?s game in Springdale.

A pair of long second-half touchdowns helped Suitland run past CH Flowers 26-14 on Saturday afternoon.



Two touchdowns and 142 receiving yards later, the Ohio State-bound wideout ensured that the bus ride home for he and his Suitland teammates would be a pleasant one, as the Rams defeated C.H. Flowers, 26-14. No. 4 Suitland is now 5-0 overall and 4-0 in Prince George?s 4A play.
From the moment Jacobs first touched the ball, his hunger was evident, returning a punt 42 yards to set up the Rams? first touchdown ? a Wesley Wolfork one-yard quarterback sneak.

Percy Harvin was 5'11", 182 lbs his senior year in high school. Jacobs is 5'11", 165 lbs. He should have no problem putting on 10-15 lbs of good weight in the next nine months or so. Even Ted Ginn was 165 lbs his senior year of high school, and he lit it up his freshman year at Ohio State. If Jacobs redshirts it won't be because he's too light...

Considering that Jeff Demps is listed as 5-7 175 and Ginn was no more than 5-11 180, I would say that Jacobs has the size to play right away.

Watch some of his SR film on Hudl, and the thing that jumped out even more than the obvious speed was his instincts on what to do with the ball. Outside of Jalin Marshall, I'm not convinced that any of our skilled position targets, including Quick, is better than Jacobs.

edit: looks like Mili beat me to it.

Percy is a freak of nature and can carry much more weight than your average scat back. A much better comparison (for size) is Tavon Austin, who is still just 171 lbs in his third year, if WVU's profile is accurate.

There are a lot of 170-175 lb slot / scat backs out there, and with Hall, Brown, Marshall splitting carries, Jacobs could get some touches without being asked to take that many hits.

Let's not also forget about Brandon James (5'7'' 175) and Chris Rainey (5'9'' 180). Both were dynamic in space, quite small but had great speed on the edge. Just like taivon. And both got reps in their frosh years. I think Jacobs will make more of an impact as a pr/kr his frosh year, before making an impact in the slot

Jacobs family now gets a B1G rivalry
November, 19, 2012
By Brad Bournival | ESPN.com

Let the trash-talking begin.

When Maryland announced it was joining the Big Ten on Monday, it set forth an interesting situation in the Jacobs household.

Taivon Jacobs (Forestville, Md./Suitland) is a senior wide receiver ticketed to play at Ohio State next fall as a 2013 Buckeyes commit. His brother Levern is a freshman wide receiver for the Terrapins.

Ohio State pledge Taivon Jacobs will likely get a chance to face off against his brother, Levern Jacobs, who plays for new Big Ten member Maryland.

That means what was once a dream for the Jacobs family will now be a yearly battle as Maryland is slated to join the Leaders Division with the Buckeyes beginning with the 2014 season.
