Jacob Simmons

Jacob Simmons, also known as "Freshman" and "Russell", is a member of the Southwestern Scholastic Bowl Team. He joined the team during the 2014-15 season during his freshman year for his first year of scholastic bowl.
Jacob currently holds the school record for most tossups scored in a season at 960, which he accomplished during the 2016-17 season. 
Jacob has the magical ability to make doughnuts appear out of thin air on Saturday mornings. He also possesses the unique ability to take a simple, everyday word or name and completely mispronounce it. 
For example: 
* Teammate A: "Jacob, do you know how to pronounce "cat" correctly?"
* Jacob: "Why yes. It is pronounced sphygmomanometer."
* Teammate A: "Nice job Freshman."
