Ann Arbor — His name is Jacob, but you can call him Jake. In fact, he’d prefer it.
Jake McCurry isn’t a household name among Michigan fans, but he did catch the attention of Michigan defensive players last season when he went against him as the scout team receiver. He also was the scout team special teams player of the year last season.
So while they knew about McCurry, most Michigan fans did not.
Until last Saturday.
McCurry scored an 18-yard touchdown on a pass from backup Dylan McCaffrey in the Wolverines’ 49-3 rout of Western Michigan.
