Spring was one of growth! More on the way as we work towards putting on for the name on the front, and leaving a legacy for the name on the back! 😤 #TeamToledo#Tweakers
Mike Jacobs is building a monster in Toledo and nobody’s talking about it loud enough🗣️‼️
4th in the entire country in winning % among active head coaches🚀
Toledo Head Coach Mike Jacobs wasted no time on the job, he was able to sign the BEST RECRUITING CLASS EVER in Program History in 2026 by AVG Recruit Ranking. The 84.06 AVG is slightly better than the 2022 class of 84.0 and 0. 34 points better than the 2024 class. The class is led by 3 star Safety Sharard Vaughn III who's an early enrollee with an opportunity to make an impact this fall. 3 star WR Seth Elchert is 6'3 with solid hands and he should be a name to remember down the road in the #MAC. An under the radar steal of this class for Toledo is 3 star OT Jake Palucki. This class is definitely a very good start for Coach Jacobs.
Of the 16 student-athletes @ToledoFB signed in the class of 2026, nine of them remained committed to the Rockets even after the coaching change...
Mike Jacobs shared his appreciation for that group earlier today, specifically highlighting Liberty-Benton's @ElchertSeth ⬇️
