Jake Bobo’s journey from Duke to UCLA has not only showcased his remarkable football talent but also sparked curiosity about his family background. A recent incident involving a television reporter’s mix-up added a humorous twist to the narrative, as the reporter mistakenly assumed that Jake Bobo was the son of Mike Bobo, a former college quarterback and long-time college coach. However, this assumption proved to be incorrect.

Casey Bobo, Jake Bobo’s mother, clarified the situation, confirming that while there may indeed be a Mike Bobo associated with college football, he is not the same individual as Jake’s father. This mix-up brought laughter rather than offense to the Bobo family, including the actual Mike Bobo, who had a brief stint as a college quarterback before transitioning to the role of wide receiver.

College

Jake Bobo played college football at Duke before transferring to UCLA and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seahawks after the 2023 NFL Draft.

In 2022, Bobo emerged as the leader in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns for UCLA football. By the end of the season, he had recorded 57 catches, achieving a career-best of 817 yards. Surprisingly, he managed to find the end zone seven times, a remarkable feat considering he had only scored three touchdowns in his entire career before joining the Los Angeles team for the season.

Bobo’s standout performances were particularly evident when facing ranked opponents last year. He delivered two impressive performances, scoring two touchdowns in each, during consecutive victories over No. 15 Washington and No. 11 Utah. Notably, he reached a season-high of 142 receiving yards in the game against the Huskies. Two weeks later, he showcased his skills again with a season-best eight receptions in a game against No. 10 Oregon, where he also contributed 101 yards and secured a touchdown catch.

In recognition of his exceptional contributions, Bobo received honors as an honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection from the league’s coaches and was named second-team all-conference by Pro Football Focus in 2022. Furthermore, he garnered numerous academic awards at both the national and conference levels, demonstrating his excellence not only on the field but also in his academic pursuits.
