Jack Tews is a 6’4″, 305 pound, class of 2024 Center for the Brandon Valley High School Lynx in Brandon, South Dakota. Watching his highlights, Jack displays a good understanding up picking up the right defender, and he also uses his huge frame to dominate at the line of scrimmage. His tape shows him simply bullying defensive tackles and creating holes for his running backs, while contributing to not giving up much interior pressure in the passing game. Tews has a 3.0 GPA, and currently doesn’t hold any offers, but should see some coming his way during and after his Senior season.
