Baylor Gains Commitments From Blake Mahon And Jamie Jacobs

(h/t Yahoo.com)

Last night, while I wasn't paying attention, Baylor picked up a pair of 3-star commitments from DE Jamie Jacobs and TE Jamie Jacobs.  With these two commitments, Baylor is now up to 11 for the 2014 class.  Since most Baylor fans are probably aware of this, below are just some quick notes on both players.  For a much more detailed post, check out this one from Our Daily Bears.

Jamie Jacobs

A 6'4/210 prospect from Waco, Jacobs chose Baylor over offers from SMU, Oregon State, and Houston.  While he's listed as a defensive end, Baylor could move him to linebacker as SicEmSports.com notes($):

Where Jacobs will play on the defense is unknown but he presents options. At 6-4, 215 he could rotate to either defensive end or linebacker. It's probably going to depend on where the Bears are with their defensive ends within the next couple of years.

Blake Mahon

Mahon, a 6'5/225 tight end from Coppell, only has one offer from Illinois, but you can expect that to change.  Mahon sounds primarily like a blocking tight end and OurDailyBears.com speculates that he may end being moved inside:

Looking at those stats, I have to say I'm a bit concerned by the idea of a TE running a 5.03 40. His shuttle time looks good enough at 4.65, but the vertical leaves a bit to be desired, even from a taller guy. Put all those things together and it makes me wonder if Mahon might not be destined to move inside should he put on enough weight in college. I don't have any specific info to that effect, so it's total speculation, but I'm not seeing anything here that just jumps off the page to me as a TE. Maybe I'm wrong. 95% of his highlight video is blocking, anyway. He does that extremely well.
