Spotlight on former (and possibly soon to be) jaguar, Jacob
Hagen
Jacob Hagen (a former SBJ Jaguar and the Son of 6th grade
Teacher, Mrs. Hagen) is predicted to be drafted in The 2015 NFL
DRAFT, most likely by the Jaguars or Dolphins (our inside
sources tell us). Jacob was a successful Captain and free safety
for Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Ms. Jones, sBJ’s current reading coach, stated in a private interview that she always expected Jacob to do great things
when she was his teacher in fourth grade. As a former Jaguar
we should congratulate Jacob on this great accomplishment and wish him the best of luck!
