Ja'Kobi Lane

Mesa (Ariz.) Red Mountain four-star wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane made a phenomenal touchdown catch during a 45-38 playoff win over Phoenix (Ariz.) Brophy College Prep. That is because the USC commit brought down the grab with one hand.

As the pass sailed towards him in the back right corner of the end zone, Lane palmed the ball with his left hand. He then kept both his feet in bounds.

A 6-foot-5, 180-pound wideout, Lane is the No. 358 overall prospect and No. 52 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 8 player in Arizona.

Ja’Kobi Lane On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Ja’Kobi Lane:

“Jump ball fiend who is an absolute menace when it comes to 50-50 balls. Long and lean athletic build with plenty of room to grow. Stands in at 6-foot-4, over 170 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan. Jumped a freaky 34-inch vertical for his size during the spring camp circuit prior to his junior season. Body positioning and balance is second to none compared to other X-type receivers in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Natural pass catcher who has strong hands and plucks the ball with ease.

“Totaled 76 catches for 990 yards and 14 touchdowns during his junior campaign. Solid twitch for his size, can get off the line of scrimmage. Lacks top end speed in order to separate from defenders when pushing vertically. Will be a significant redzone threat at the next level and can see his NFL stock rise as he gets stronger and more explosive with a collegiate strength and conditioning program.”
