Freshman Defensive Tackle – Jacob Kongaika
One of the lesser-known recruits in the class of 2022, Jacob Kongaika joined the Wildcats late; however, he may be one of the bigger surprises this fall.
A standout from the extremely talented Mater Dei High School in Southern California, Jacob already is making an impact in fall camp.

"He may end up being the surprise of the camp. He's a young kid, but he's a grown man when it comes to playing football."
Coming in, he stands an impressive 6-feet-2-inches and weighs roughly 285 pounds. He is quick and athletic for a player his size, and he plays with a bit of hunger and nastiness that should help this defense immensely. For that, look for Jacob to potentially be an impact player!
