When Jake Hausmann enrolled at Archbishop Moeller High School in the fall of 2012, he had aspirations of playing a college sport. It just wasn’t the same sport for which he signed a national letter of intent just four years later.

“I came [to Moeller] for the basketball program because it was so good and still is so good,” Hausmann recalls.

Shortly after arriving at Moeller — an Ohio high school football powerhouse — Hausmann realized his calling would be on the football field rather than the basketball court. The first time that thought hit the now 6-foot-5, 240-pound tight end was early in his freshman year when he became the first-ever freshman to dress for a varsity game under head coach John Rodenberg, who has been at Moeller since 2008.

“He came in here sort of as a basketball player, but we saw that he could be pretty dominant so he was the first guy that I ever dressed varsity as a freshman,” Rodenberg told Eleven Warriors. “He didn’t play any and we let him go down and play some freshman games, but just the fact that I thought he could do it speaks volumes.”

“I kind of wanted to go to college for basketball and then once Coach Rodenberg pulled me up — and I was like the first freshman he ever pulled up on varsity — it kind of clicked that maybe I could do both or just do [football],” Hausmann added. “I never really thought going into high school that I’d be going to play college football, but when he brought me up it started to click.”
