Gabe Jacas brings Big Ten-level edge production with real game-wrecking juice
Jacas is a high-motor Illinois linebacker/edge hybrid whose calling card is finishing plays in the backfield: he piled up 27 career sacks and 7 forced fumbles across four seasons, including an 11-sack, 3-forced-fumble 2025 campaign that led the Big Ten in sacks.[1][2] Scouts and analysts consistently note that he is more than a pure pass rusher, showing sturdy run defense, versatility, and the kind of intensity that translates well to a scheme that values pressure and physicality.[7][15]
