Jake Struck, a senior at Liberty High School, has helped Liberty Patriots’ football team reach the OCC championship and is ranked #14 in the state of Ohio. Struck was recognized on the instagram sportscenternext, ESPN’s high school sports highlights, for his run in the Liberty and Davidson football game where Liberty took the win 32-7. This instagram account has more than one million followers and highlights Struck’s aggression and passion for his position and team. Struck plays outside linebacker and running back for Liberty creating his spot on the team to be an asset offensively and defensively. 

Although Struck is in the immediate spotlight he gives all the credit to his team. “It’s really cool to receive the recognition but none of this could have happened without the rest of the team,” Struck said. Struck may be the one receiving the majority of the attention on social media, the Liberty football team is being handed the credit through Struck. Without a team there wouldn’t be these moments, and Struck shows gratitude towards the patriots for moments like these.
