PEMBROKE — When Steven Jacobs was deciding on his college selection, one of the major factors in his decision was comfort.
After weighing his options, Jacobs accepted a scholarship offer to continue his football career at Wingate University.
"When I visited, it seemed like home," Jacobs said after signing his letter of intent Thursday in the Purnell Swett football field house in front of his family. "Everybody made me feel like they cared about me and all of the coaches knew my name."
A two-time all-conference performer, Jacobs registered 101 tackles, five sacks and two fumble recoveries last season and was selected to the all-county first team as well as the all-region second team. As a tight end, Jacobs caught five passes, one for a touchdown.
"He's a leader on-and-off the field," Purnell Swett coach Mark Heil said. "He's a good student and he's got a great work ethic in the weight room. He was one of our captains, he's a great leader. I feel confident he will do well."
The ability to play as a freshman was another draw for Jacobs to sign with the Bulldogs, who finished 7-3 last season under head coach Joe Reich.
"They said there's probably a chance I could play right away," he said. "They said the position is going to be up for grabs and that the position is mine, depending on how bad I want it."
Jacobs said the Bulldog coaching staff has been watching him since his junior year and were impressed with his on-field presence.
"Defensive line Coach (Tony) Tofanelli said I had a really good motor, plus I played both ways," Jacobs said. "He said I could really have a motor if I just played on one side."
Jacobs added he doesn't believe the pressure of starting and being asked to contribute immediately would get to him.
"If anything, it motivates me," Jacobs said. "I just want to go out there and make some plays to help out with the outcome of the game. I want to show them what I'm capable of."
Jacobs added the proximity of the school to his home was an added bonus.
"It's far enough away, but it's also close enough to get back," Jacobs said.
