Jacob Rothwell is our Athlete of the Week. This Castro Valley High School Junior is a multi-position player on the Varsity Football team. In addition to playing wide receiver and running back, Jacob also can be seen playing short safety and returning punts. Jacob is key in getting the Trojans into the Red Zone on multiple drives by gaining yardage following catches and handoffs from quarterback Lucas Chauvin. In his start against Encinal High School, Jabob scored an amazing touchdown by leaping into the endzone following a 15-yard pass. During the Senior Night game against Mount Eden, Jacob made a 55-yeard touchdown run to put the Trojans up 21-7 in an eventual 28-15 win.
