Underappreciated 4-year starter. Productive player. He will be SORELY missed this year and going forward.

Penn State needs a million more Curtis Jacobses instead of hype beasts good-for-nothin do-nothin fly by nighter johnny come lately King Macks. That starts with the fanbase and what it demands, then trickles down to the nightclub promoter HC. Get off the damn hype trains and get on the players with substance. Demand substance. Disregard top 10 preseason rankings. YES to substance, NO to fluff.

Apparently you didn't get the memo, a new HC that has ties to Joe Paterno is the only way forward. Guarantees MNCs.

After 4 years it is easy to see substance and cast aside fluff. On signing day it is much more difficult. That said, those coaches who are engineers on fully loaded hype trains often drive them to Natty Town.
By the way, Curtis was a 4 or 5 star recruit coming out of high school. He rode the hype train.

Jacobs was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL draft.[12]

I think Curtis will stick in the pros. Might start as a Special Teams player and after 1st year begin to get defensive PT. I thought he was an excellent LBer but I guess he didn't have some of the measurables and times required to be drafted.

Seems to be a number of 'new member' posts about hating CJF recently. Most repeat the same few central points too. I would say, interesting. But it isn't.

This guy knows so much about football yet he’s calling for a million Curtis Jacobs’s. Dude doesn’t even know the scholarship number has a cap of 85. What team has a million players on its roster? What an idiot!

I think that with his work ethic Curtis Jacob will find a way to make it in NFL. Perseverance sure helps and he has that for sure.

What would our record be if we had 30 Vidal Hazeltons, 30 Chad Hennes and 25 Dominick Bragalones?

Well then why don't we just make sure we're only signing 4 and 5 star players like Curtis? That strategy worked for me in video games, so I don't get why our coach won't try it. It should led to more undefeated seasons.

So if PSU had to fill out a roster using one single player from history at every position, who would you choose?

I guess someone like Lavar - who would be tough enough to maybe play either line and still able to carry/catch the football.

It certainly works for Ohio State. Of their 2025 class 18 of the 23 commits are 4 and 5 stars. They will "coach up" the other 5.

Lindy's ranked the BiG linebackers for 2024. King was #10 and Deluca was #17. I'm guessing they didn't tank Rojas because of his lack of PT.
