Brandon Jacobs

FB, RB · Southern Illinois
A veteran senior who missed spring practice due to an injury ... Did not play in Red-Blue game ... Coaches are eager to get him back, because he can play either tailback or fullback ... Has a history of being the most productive back on the team in the red zone, having scored six touchdowns from that area ... Has a nose for the end zone ... Although handicapped with his injury, worked hard in the spring to stay in shape physically and mentally into the game ... Has shown good senior leadership in meetings and at practice.
