Jakob is going into his second year majoring in Engineering at GCC. After graduation, he has plans to transfer into a Software Engineering or related technological field.

This year, Jakob is on the hunt for another 2 National Championships with the Rainbow 6 Siege team. He's also interested in playing Madden and NBA 2k for the team.

Jakob was the recipient of the Jim Halverson Excellence in Esports award for the 22-23 season. This award is given to the athlete who best exemplifies the hard work and welcoming attitude the founder, Jim Halverson, brought to the Esports program.

Quote from Coach Little:

"Bringing Jakob back for a second year is very exciting. In his first year, Jakob already has shown a lot of great leadership potential. He also puts in extra work to ensure the team is well informed of the opponents strategies by reviewing matches. We look forward to seeing what he will bring to the team in the Fall."

Jakob Wiemeri is joined by: Gavyn Rubatt, Shane O'Brien, Staysha Whitley, and Michael Mieloszyk as returning members of the 23-24 Rainbow 6 Siege team.
