Jakob Skau brings local-speed, fresh legs, and upside to Drake’s WR room
In the 2025 season, Jakob Skau was a freshman wide receiver listed at 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds for Drake, and by 2026 he’s on the roster as a sophomore—an indicator that the Bulldogs are investing in his development. His strongest selling point is upside: he arrives from Urbandale, Iowa, with a prep résumé that included 712 receiving yards, 40 catches, and nine touchdowns over two varsity seasons, plus All-District and Academic All-District recognition. He looks like a reliable, high-effort fit for a disciplined program—more crafty chain-mover than headline-grabber, with room to grow into a bigger role.
