Jake Speller brings size, multi-sport toughness, and upside to Bucknell’s linebacker room
Jake Speller is a 6-3, 210-pound freshman linebacker for Bucknell in the 2025 season, and the appeal is obvious: he arrives with captaincy experience, all-state honorable mention recognition in football, and a high-level athletic background that includes record-setting production as a receiver in high school. His profile suggests a long, rangy defender with competitive edge and coachable versatility rather than a finished product, which makes him the kind of developmental fit teams love to stash and grow.
