Here are Jake’s number for his career:

If we all remember 2016-17, Jake was a shit show from the start and was promptly sent down to Utica by Willie. There were a lot of issues with Jake, starting with gliding back to the defensive end. Throw in a bad shoulder that took away from his physical game and his shooting, Jake had a rough year even in Utica.
