Jacob De Jesus News, Rumors, Updates - UNLV Rebels

Signs with California De Jesus has signed with California, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact De Jesus is a Manteca, California native who will transfer to one of the state's best FBS universities less than 70 miles from his hometown. For multiple years, he has been an excellent wideout with UNLV. Each of his seasons there saw him log at least 600 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. The wideout also significantly increased his yards per reception, finishing this past year with 14.2 averaged. De Jesus has what it takes to replace Nyziah Hunter, the 2024 Golden Bears' top wideout, who will enroll at Nebraska.
