Jacob's first tournament during the 2010-2011 season was the [[Early Autumn Collegiate Novice]] Tournament. [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/314/stats/collegiate_novice/standings/] After [[2010 ACF Fall]] at Truman State[http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/758/stats/acf/standings/], his next tournament was the [[2011 SCT]] at Missouri State, where he placed 5th individually in D-II.
