2024 Arizona football season countdown: 41 days to kickoff
A LOOK BACK — NO. 41 MARK JACOBS. With it being the 41st day until kickoff between the Lobos and Wildcats, the best player to wear No. 41 for Arizona is linebacker Mark Jacobs, a Flowing Wells graduate who played with the Wildcats from 1974-76. Jacobs unofficially holds the Arizona record with 200 tackles in 1974. The Arizona record book does not officially list the category for most tackles in a season. It does list the annual tackling leaders since 1975 and notes that until 1987 the tackles listed were from observation of “coaches film.” The NCAA did not officially begin to collect defensive statistics until 2000, believe it or not. So a way to look at it: Jacobs unofficially holds the Arizona record with 200 tackles, achieved as a sophomore, while Scooby Wright III has the most in the eyes of the NCAA with 163 in 2014, Wright’s junior season. Jacobs supposedly had more tackles than what the NCAA lists as the record-holder today: Texas Tech’s Lawrence Flugence with 193 in 2002. Jacobs went on to coach at Flowing Wells and was a pillar in the community, with the Sports Park naming itself the Mark Jacobs Sports Park. He earned his secondary education degree at NAU in the early 1980s and coached and taught in Flagstaff before returning to Tucson in 1987 to coach at Flowing Wells. Jacobs, now 69, returned to Flagstaff in 2002 to be with his family and to pursue a career in public-school administration. He is retired in Flagstaff.
