Jakob Harken brings size, shot-making upside, and a high-work-ethic freshman profile to RIT
As a 2025-26 freshman guard for RIT, Jakob Harken is a 6-foot-3 perimeter piece with clear long-term upside: he was a high school team offensive player of the year, hit a school-and-league-record 51 points in a game, and was praised by his coach as a “gym rat” who can really shoot it and has a good feel for the game. In his 2025-26 season so far, he has been used sparingly, but his profile screams shot-making, length, and effort—useful traits for a team that wants a guard who can develop into a floor-spacer and competitive rotation piece.[1][2][4]
