Cornell’s veteran OL who brought grit, leadership, and brains
Jake Waltman was a seasoned Cornell offensive lineman who earned academic recognition in 2016 with a 3.71 GPA and was credited with helping the Big Red improve its scoring, total offense, and sack protection in 2016. He also stood out as a vocal leader—the kind of interior-line presence who can steady a room and set a tone in high-pressure moments, including Cornell’s famous 2016 comeback. If you want a smart, physical, team-first lineman with leadership upside, that’s his calling card.
