Move In Style Athlete Spotlight: Jacob Desilets

Athlete Spotlight-Desilets

Desilets, also a football standout, joined the wrestling team last year as a junior and quickly made a name for himself as a contending heavyweight. In December, he placed second at the Milford Holiday Tournament and qualified for Day 2 of the prestigious Lowell Holiday Tournament. “Jacob has a work ethic in the practice room and willingness to learn that I do not see often,” coach Corey Mills stated. “That is what has helped him close the gap with more experienced wrestlers. … Jacob is setting his postseason goals high, and with his work ethic, the sky’s the limit!”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
