Youngstown State freshman DB Jack Tarkowski arrives with championship pedigree and all-state punch
Jack Tarkowski enters the 2026 season as a 6-1, 195-pound freshman defensive back from Arrowhead High School, where he earned WFCA Large School All-Wisconsin honors, first-team all-state recognition, and helped win a Wisconsin Division 1 state title. That kind of resume usually signals a player who shows up fast, competes hard, and doesn’t need long to get comfortable. He looks like a clean fit for a program that values physical, versatile defensive backs with proven winning habits, even if his college production is still waiting to be built.
