There's even a throwback aspect to the three sports that Jakubowski plays for West Deptford - the once-holy trinity of boys' games that now is crowded and occasionally overshadowed by the likes of soccer and track, wrestling and swimming, tennis and golf and lacrosse.
That's a good thing, by the way. More sports equal more opportunities for more athletes.
Still, the geometric growth of what used to be known as "minor sports" - as well as the explosion of offseason demands in every sport - only underscores the vintage nature of Jakubowski's athletic career.
"I actually quit football for a little while when I was a sophomore," Jakubowski said. "But a week into camp I decided to go back. I knew you don't get these memories back. I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity."
The 6-3, 180-pound Jakubowski doesn't just participate in all three sports. He's an impact player in every season.
He is the leading scorer on the West Deptford basketball team, which has a 2-1 record. He's averaging 15.3 points as a swingman.
"He's such a top athlete," West Deptford basketball coach Don Clark said. "He's had such success in other sports, and he brings that to this team."
Jakubowski's final football season for West Deptford ended in dreamlike fashion. On Dec. 3 at Rowan University, he had two interceptions, plus a 23-yard reception on a third and 19, as West Deptford upset previously unbeaten Haddonfield by a 22-14 score to capture the program's fifth South Jersey Group 2 title since 2002.
"I don't think he missed a practice in three years," West Deptford football coach Clyde Folsom said. "He plays with so much enthusiasm."
Baseball is Jakubowski's top sport. He has signed a letter of intent to attend Long Island University on a baseball scholarship. Jakubowski batted .517 with 10 doubles, eight home runs, 51 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases last season as West Deptford won the South Jersey Group 2 title.
