Jake Wassenaar
Central senior tight end Jake Wassenaar took the field at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans Jan. 1 as a member of the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team.
Wassenaar was among just six Division III players chosen for the 22-man squad. The players were cited for their volunteer service work. It’s the fourth time a Central player was tabbed for the elite squad since the program’s launch in 1997.
An elementary education major with a 3.92 grade point average, Wassenaar is deeply involved with The Raining Season, an organization supporting orphaned children in Sierra Leone. He’s also part of Central’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes leadership team, has participated in a pair of two-week service trips to south Texas with Central’s Campus Ministries program and helped teach English to Burmese refugees in Des Moines.
