Football Recruiting Profiles

In the past week the Jackrabbits have added two outstanding players.  The class is rounding in to shape with less than a month to go until the early signing period.  Great work to the coaches for compiling such an outstanding class. 


LB: Mike Timm,  6'0 220, Wales, WI (Kettle Moraine High School)
  • Mike first visited SDSU last spring during his spring break.  He got a tour from former-QB and current offensive GA Zach Lujan.  On the visit he loved the genuine feel of the people, all the coaches said "hi" to him and his family regardless of position.  This culture really had an impact.
  • Mike was a finalist for the "John Anderson Award" which is given to the top Senior linebacker in Wisconsin.  He was also named the Defensive MVP for his conference.
  • Came to summer camp and took another campus visit for UNI and Hobo Day this fall
  • Plans to major in Exercise Science
  • Will play linebacker at SDSU.
  • Primary recruiters were Coach Eck and Coach Rogers
  • Mike says he is a versatile player who brings physicality.  He is also a student of the game and loves to learn and study. 

WR: Jayd Vanderwerff, 6'2 190, Gregory, SD
  • Jayd is an All-State wide receiver who had 1,106 total yards with 18 TDs in 2017
  • Jayd chose SDSU because he really enjoyed his time on campus and the facilities.  The belief from the coaches that he could play here and the family atmosphere also convinced him.  He is also excited to be staying in the area to play.
  • He was on campus for multiple games and attended Jr. Day last spring.
  • Jayd was recruited by Coach Bergstrom and Coach Arnheim.
  • Will play wide receiver or wherever the team needs him.
  • Is considering Pre-Physical Therapy or Construction/Engineering for a major
  • Jayd says he will do whatever it takes to win and puts the team first.  He comes from a winning program and can bring a positive energy that builds others up.

Top 5 Favorite Jackrabbit Football Players

Remember the great scene from "The Sandlot" where Benny wakes up to the ghost of Babe Ruth coming out of his closet?  If you remember, the boys from the sandlot were in a pickle.  A signed Babe Ruth baseball had been hit over the fence and into a junkyard that was roamed by a giant dog named "The Beast" and an old grouchy man who instructed the dog to eat intruders (or so the legend said) lived alone.  Anyways, the best part of the dream scene is Babe Ruth's advice to Benny, "Hero's get remembered, but legends never die." Who are the legends of Jackrabbit football?  What plays and contribution did they make that stand out?  I had this discussion on Twitter on my personal account a few months ago, but I decided I wanted to bring it to the blog.  We can debate all day who the BEST Jackrabbits are, but who are your FAVORITE Jackrabbits of all time?  Who are the legendary players to you?  I've been closely following the Jacks since the fa

The Jackrabbit games about FBS teams are always fun.  It is a chance to take in a different town and watch the team prove themselves against a foe who is one classification higher.  This year the Jacks aren't playing a Power 5 team but are playing a Great 5 team, Colorado State.  We have a guest contributor today, Jackrabbit legend Austin Sumner.  Austin was the starting QB from 2011 to 2014.  .  Below are some of his recommendations for Fort Collins. Jacks Fans! I’m looking forward to seeing many of you Labor Day weekend as the Jacks take on Colorado State. I’ve lived here in Fort Collins for the last 6 years. Here are some recommendations for those visiting for the big game: Breweries – New Belgium and Odell Brewing Co (most popular) are great places to kill some time and enjoy some of the finest craft beers. Or keep it classy at the Anheuser-Busch brewery and grab yourself a Busch Light. Here is a list of the rest in town: Fort Collins Breweries | Local Colorado Craft Beer (visi
