Jake Tumblin followed Nick Streubel’s blocks on the football field.
Now, the Coupeville High School senior running back would like to follow his fellow gridiron warrior to Central Washington University to play college football.
Streubel, a 1A All-State lineman, is signing his letter of intent with CWU Wednesday, Feb. 5 (National Signing Day), having accepted their scholarship offer.
Tumblin was invited to Ellensburg last weekend to participate in a tryout for Wildcat coaches, and, while he will have to wait for a few days to find out if CWU is interested (“They said between Wednesday and the weekend”), Tumblin left the tryout in good spirits.
“It was good! Felt like I did well,” he said. “They just wanted us to do some drills, see us move a little bit.”
Tumblin was tested in a twenty-yard dash and vertical jump, then did positional drills. For him, that meant putting in work as both a defensive back and running back.
Afterwards he and the others took a tour of the campus.
