Jake Mercer

I am a two-sport athlete at Lincoln High School, class of 2026, and I have started on the varsity defensive line since my sophomore year. In the spring I play third base for the Lancers baseball team.

What I want a coach to know is that I am coachable and I am durable. I have not missed a game in three seasons. I show up to lift at 6am because that is when the weight room is open, and I have never needed anyone to make me go.

Academically I carry a 3.8 GPA with four AP courses, and I intend to study mechanical engineering. I am NCAA registered and academically eligible. If you want film, transcripts or a call with my coach, everything is on this page.

"Film on Sunday, weights on Monday, homework every night. Keeping the schedule is most of the work."
