Son of former NFL RB Brandon Jacobs could be a problem for opposing defenders

Former NFL running back Brandon Jacobs attended the high school graduation of his son, Brayden. While the two-time Super Bowl champion must be proud of his son’s achievement, it was Brayden who received much attention after a photo of them surfaced.

The picture in focus had Brayden Jacobs wrapping his hands around his father while wearing his graduation attire. However, those who saw the picture couldn’t help but comment about the younger Jacobs’s size.

Brandon Jacobs is a massive individual, especially among running backs. At 6-foot-4 and 264 pounds, it was a nightmare to bring him down, much more tackling him. His bruising play style enabled him to collect 5,555 rushing yards and 64 touchdowns. Jacobs also has 788 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

However, the running back who played in nine NFL seasons looked small beside his son. On3 verified that Brayden Jacobs is a 6-foot-7, 330-pound individual who played offensive tackle for Milton, Georgia’s top-ranked team.

The Eagles finished the 2024 season with an undefeated 15-0 record, capped off by their second consecutive state championship. That result made Milton the fourth-best team in the nation based on the On3 Composite Team Rankings.

Meanwhile, the On3 Industry Rating ranks Brandon Jacobs’ son 158^th among the Class of 2025 high school football prospects. Likewise, Brayden Jacobs is 15^th among offensive tackles and 19^th in Georgia.

Brayden Jacobs has a 92.70 On3 Industry Ranking, making him a four-star prospect. His talent will benefit the Clemson Tigers, the school he committed to in January 2024. Jacobs can fill in any of the spots vacated by last year’s seniors, namely Walker Parks, Will Boggs, Marcus Tate, and Trent Howard.

Doing well in college football could have him follow in his father’s footsteps to the NFL. Brandon Jacobs joined the New York Giants as a fourth-round pick in the 2005 draft and helped them win Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. Jacobs also spent his final year (2013) with the Giants and played one year with the San Francisco 49ers (2012) in between his stints with Big Blue.
