Skinny: A great athlete and one of the top players in the state, he played three positions on offense and two on defense last season. Although he has the ability to be moved around at the college level, all schools so far are recruiting him as a wideout.
"I had to play QB a few times last season, I also played running back a few times so I was able to get a lot of experience at different positions. I like wide receiver best and that is what everyone is recruiting me as."
Jesse has been to Maryland, Rutgers and Syracuse for junior days and might also be going to Virginia and North Carolina before the summer ends.
"I was already at Virginia last year and I really liked it. The campus is beautiful and the stadium is great. I plan on taking my time and my visits."
