Jacob Small (born January 21, 1998) is an American football kicker for the Tijuana Luchadores of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Jacob Small was born Jacob Liam Small in the beach town of Whatuwhiwhi, New Zealand, to Sarah Small and Keith Taumata. His father was part of the indigenous Māori, and his mother a japanese american who came to New Zealand for a study abroad program and never left. He was born January 21st, 1998, and lived on the beach until he turned 16 where they moved to Auckland where he attended Manurewa High School and joined the varsity footbal (soccer) team. After a fantastic junior year, he captained the team to 14 wins - 0 losses averaging 2 goals a game. But his real love was american football, a sport he was never able to play besides kicking a football online for his YouTube subscribers. He graduated with a 4.0 and honors in football and school. He has no siblings and though his parents divorced after their move to Auckland, he still keeps in touch with both his parents during holidays and free time."

College career

While the University of Auckland has a soccer team, this was more of a pass time for him do to the noncompetitiveness of this college sport. He averaged 3 goals a game in 46 games in 4 seasons with the team. He gained the most notoriety from his YouTube channel and his "Kicking Challenges" where he would see how far he could kick a football through the uprights. At over 560 thousand subscribers he was invited to America to test his skills in the combine and he was drafted #116 by the Tijuana Luchadores, and he now has the opportunity to show what he can do online in front of millions. He still found time to graduate with a degree in Elementary Teaching in 4 years. Jacob Small says if he cannot succeed on the football field he will succeed in the classroom teaching future students for a better generation and a better world.
