Freshman DB Jacob Hartman brings captain’s edge and all-around playmaking to St. Thomas
Hartman enters St. Thomas as a freshman defensive back from Minneapolis Southwest, where he was a four-year varsity starter, a sophomore team captain, and an all-conference/all-district performer; he also earned an invite to the 2025 Minnesota All-Star Game[1]. The best fit case here is a competitive, versatile DB with proven football IQ, leadership, and two-way athleticism from his prep career, which makes him an intriguing development piece rather than a pure box-score pick[1][2].
