Jacob Zierolf is an elite two-way line prospect from the Class of 2027 at Del Norte High School in San Diego, California. Standing 6’5” and weighing 245 lbs, Zierolf possesses the prototypical frame and "length" that Division I collegiate programs prioritize for both the Offensive Tackle and Defensive End positions. Dominant Defensive Production: During the 2025 season, Zierolf proved to be a constant disruption in the backfield. He recorded 28 total tackles, 8 tackles for loss (TFL), and 4 sacks. His ability to collapse the pocket is further highlighted by his 8 QB hurries and a forced fumble, earning him All-League honors. Elite Athleticism and Strength: For a 6’5” athlete, Zierolf shows exceptional mobility with a 4.85-second hand-timed 40-yard dash. His functional power is equally impressive, supported by a 405 lb max back squat, a 260 lb power clean, and a 255 lb bench press. These metrics indicate a physically mature player with the explosive lower-body drive necessary to win in the trenches. Academic Excellence: Zierolf is an elite student-athlete with a 3.95 GPA. This high level of academic achievement makes him a premier target for prestigious high-academic institutions and Service Academies. Early Recruitment Success: His combination of size, production, and academics has already resulted in Division I scholarship offers from Army and Air Force.
