About Bobby
Expert Analysis
River David | Prep Soccer Scout
Robert “Bobby” Jacobs is a fantastic forward from the Irvine Strikers system in California. Jacobs is your traditional center forward and is considered to be one of the top prospects within his class.
Jacobs has terrific finishing ability and can put the ball into the net from nearly every angle. This terrific finishing, combined with his ability to mold into almost every position on the pitch, is what led to him obtaining the golden boot for the U15’s during the MLS NEXT Cup.
While Jacobs is still a little rough around the edges and could do well to find a little more patiences on the ball, I truly believe that one day he could be one of the best center forwards in the nation. He just needs to learn to relax a little bit more and enjoy whats in front of him.
River’s 3 traits to consider:Shot: Bobby Jacobs has a magical left foot. Jacobs truly has the intangibles to show that one day he may turn into one of the most prolific finishers of his class. Jacobs has power in both feet but could use a little patience on the ball.Flair: Jacobs isn’t afraid to go for the spectacular. During the tournament there were multiple times that Jacobs attempted a cheeky skill or otherworldly shot selection in order to give his team the edge. He truly kept the opposition on their toes and was a joy to watch.Courage: I know I’ve somewhat already leaned into Jacobs’ decision making and willingness to take on outlandish shots in order to score goals, however I want to emphasize that this isn’t a bad thing. I love the fact that Bobby Jacobs is so young yet willing to take chances and have fun. That’s what this game is about. No one would ever have called it, “The Beautiful Game” had people not taken chances to make beautiful plays.
