I first became seriously aware of Jeremy Jacquet through sustained analysis rather than headline noise. What stands out immediately is not hype, but trajectory. When we run Jacquet through comparative data models, repeatedly and across different snapshots, the same conclusion keeps coming back. This is a defender whose numbers already belong in conversations well beyond his age bracket, as the below radar from a recent game shows, he is at or just above the required level in key metrics, in games, against older, more experienced CBs.
