Continue ReadingAlso a football standout who is drawing interest from a host of college programs, Blue Valley 2021 Jake Wolff is gearing up for a strong offseason after splitting time between the varsity and junior varsity his sophomore season.
At 6’2, 193-pounds, Wolff is an aggressive player who combines a hard-charging style of play with the ability to play the game under control and as a floor general. In addition to being a standout athlete, he is also a strong student who reports a 4.3 GPA.
Wolff had some bright moments as he split time between the varsity and JV while playing behind a large senior class. He had a season-high 34 points in a contest against the St. James JV team.
“At Blue Valley,, our season ended earlier than we would have thought as we lost to BVN early,” Wolff said. “I felt I improved a ton over the course of the season and was feeling confident, while playing both JV and varsity.”
Wolff says he is running with the MoKan Select 16U squad this summer and hopes to be able to take his games to new heights.
“I am focusing on being able to completely take over a game when necessary,” he says. “Throughout my basketball career, my long time MoKan coach and trainer, RJ Newton, has been alongside me the whole way. Not only has helped me raise my game on the court, he has influenced me in a positive in my everyday life.”
Wolff says he is a fan of NBA guard Trae Young and has enjoyed watching his career progress through summer basketball, the college game and now the Atlanta Hawks.
“When I watch the NBA, I love to watch Trae Young since came up through the MoKan program,” Wolff says. “After watching him, I’ve focused on getting everyone on my team involved in the game, like he does.”
While Wolff says he has not yet drawn much interest from college basketball programs, he has developed into a potential high major football prospect.
“I have not heard from any college basketball coaches but have talked to many schools for football,” he says. “I plan on playing football at the next level and have gotten lots of interest. I have taken visits to K-State, Mizzou, KU, Oklahoma State, and Georgia.”
