Jestin Jacobs brings size, range, and a proven bounce-back story to Oregon’s linebacker room
Jestin Jacobs is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound inside linebacker who transferred to Oregon after injuries slowed his Iowa career, and he has shown enough flashes to earn real NFL attention. In 2023, he played 21 games across his Oregon career and totaled 61 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and one interception, with reports noting he found his rhythm only after getting healthier. His biggest differentiators are length, physicality, and coverage ability for a bigger linebacker; the caution flag is durability, but when he’s right, he looks like a tone-setter with draftable upside.
