TE/DE, Jake Bull.  In the Lake Michigan Football Report, Bull is rated as the 3rd TE in West Michigan.  Click here to view the Rankings.

First Game Started: At Holt my Junior year.
#1 Most Memorable Game: Playing Jenison my Junior year and scoring my first touchdown in the corner of the endzone.

Post-Game Traditions: Meet with my parents and family after the game on the field, then go up to the locker room and spend some time talking about the game with my teammates.
Athlete I try to build my game around: Tyler Eifert from Notre Dame because of his ability to block and his agility to run routes and catch passes.
