testimonials

"Not only does Jake understand the world of recruiting at an elite level, but he is also one of the most genuine, honest and hardest working people I know. He truly wants to help others succeed, and that shows in every relationship he builds and every opportunity he creates for the people around him."

MEGAN PENDERGAST - HEAD COACH, UNIVERSITY OF DENVER

"Jake played a huge role in my decision to come to Oklahoma. He went above and beyond throughout the recruiting process—providing not just the information I needed, but insights I didn’t even know to ask for. His creativity, energy, and genuine care for athletes really set him apart.

What stood out even more was how he connected with my parents. He made sure they felt informed and comfortable every step of the way, treating me not just as an athlete, but as someone’s child.

Even though I never got to play for him, I truly wish I had—that’s the kind of impact he made."

ALEXIS SHELTON - OKLAHOMA '25, GRAND RAPIDS RISE PRO

"Jake has a rare ability to see the whole person behind the player. Throughout my recruiting journey, he focused on more than just performance—he cared about who I was becoming as a teammate, leader, and person.

What sets him apart is his genuine investment in the individual. He builds confidence, trust, and belief, helping athletes grow into who they want to be—not just on the court, but in life.

His impact goes far beyond volleyball, and it’s one that lasts."

SABRINA SIMMS - OKLAHOMA '21

"I’ve known Jake before he recruited me, and he’s always been supportive and really understood me as a player, including my strengths, my style, and what I needed to succeed. 

During the recruiting process, he took the time to get to know me on a personal level and helped guide me by giving honest advice and helping me make confident decisions. He genuinely cared about me as a person and always cared about my family too, not just as a player. 

What made him different was how genuine and consistent he was. He communicated clearly, never pressured me, and always focused on what was best for me on and off the court."
