27 Aug 2024 501 Football Team 2024: Jacobe Noble – Harmony Grove

When Harmony Grove in Haskell needed help in the backfield last season, senior tailback/linebacker Jacobe Noble ran with the opportunity and never looked back.

“My favorite football memory is Coach giving me a chance and never regretting his decision,” he said. “It has inspired me to be a team leader and to push my team to be its best.”

“Jacobe took over the running back spot during the middle of the year last year and did a great job,” Head Coach Josh Smith said. “This year, we expect him to hold down the tailback spot and run our defense from the linebacker position.”

Despite breaking his leg in the Cardinals’ season finale last year, the two-way senior has captured the attention of college scouts and returns to the gridiron this fall with something to prove as Haskell Harmony Grove returns to Class 7-4A.

“Your dreams only end when you let them,” Noble said. “When faced with a setback, you keep your head up and keep going, no matter what. I’m coming back even harder this year. My personal goals this season are to rush for 1,000 yards and to get more offers to play at the next level.”

Off the field, he shines brightly with a servant’s heart.

“Jacobe comes from a great family and has a 3.8 GPA,” Smith said. “He volunteers his time in the elementary school and at youth football camps and is always accountable for his classwork. He is a good leader and teammate.”
