This week's 1590 WAKR Male Student Athlete of the Week is Jake Pollotta of Jackson High School.

Jake is a multi-sport athlete and has competed at the varsity level in basketball, baseball, and football. When his senior year comes to an end at Jackson, he will have earned 10 varsity letters.

While doing all this, he had the wherewithal to keep his grades at such a high level that he will be going to Dartmouth University in the fall. When he attends Dartmouth he plans on playing football for the Big Green, while getting an Ivy League education.

One of the biggest things Jake will remember about his time at Jackson will be the friendships and connections he's made with his teammates and classmates. He also said of Coach Tim Budd: "Coach always told us to not take an account for what other people are saying about us and just go out and play our game."

Jake's ability to budget his time and be successful not only on the field, but in the classroom shows what dedication this young man has, to not only sports but to academics.

We wish him only the best in the end of his senior year and on into college.
