Jake Javorsky brings compact, physical linebacker upside to Cal Poly
Jake Javorsky enters the 2026 season as a 5-foot-11, 220-pound redshirt sophomore linebacker for Cal Poly, and his calling card is straightforward: size, pop, and a downhill style that fits a physical defense[2][6]. In the 2024 season, he appeared in one game as a freshman and recorded an assisted tackle against Northern Colorado, so the sample is small, but the program clearly sees development value in his frame and effort[2][3]. He also arrived with a strong high-school reputation, with Prep Redzone noting that he led San Juan Hills in tackles and was one of the best defenders they saw that season[4]. If your team wants a tough, inside-out linebacker with growth potential rather than a finished product, he’s a name worth tracking[2][4].
