What his teammates say…
“Jack is a very dynamic player. He’s a quiet achiever and has flashy skills. His ability to carry the ball is some of the best I have seen. A naturally talented guy who can do some crazy things with the ball while managing to keep it on the end of his stick, so he’s definitely one to watch.” Josh Beltz
