Jacob Sirmon (born May 30, 1999)[1] is an American football quarterback who is a free agent. He played college football for the Washington Huskies, Central Michigan Chippewas and Northern Colorado Bears.
Early life
Sirmon grew up in Bothell, Washington.[2] His father, five uncles and both grandfathers all played college football, including his uncle Peter Sirmon who played in the National Football League.[3][4]
Sirmon attended Bothell High School and was a top quarterback, throwing for a career 5,786 yards and 47 touchdown passes while being first-team All-KingCo and the 4A KingCo offensive most valuable player as a senior, as well as an invitee to the Under Armour All-America Game.[5] A highly-ranked prospect, he placed first in the state, second for prostyle quarterbacks and 30th nationally in recruiting rankings according to ESPN.[5] He committed to play for the Washington Huskies.[3]
College career
Sirmon redshirted at Washington as a true freshman in 2018.[6] He was backup to Jacob Eason in the 2019 season and played in five games, totaling two completions on three attempts for 19 yards.[7] He entered the NCAA transfer portal prior to the 2020 season, but ultimately stayed with the team.[8] He competed for the starting job in 2020 but lost to Dylan Morris, finishing the season with one game played while completing his only pass for nine yards.[5][7] He entered the transfer portal for a second time after the season ended.[7]
Sirmon ultimately transferred to the Central Michigan Chippewas.[9] He won the starting nod and started the first four games before being replaced, only appearing once more in the season.[6] He finished having completed 73-of-119 pass attempts for 734 yards and six touchdowns, with four interceptions.[10] He entered the transfer portal again following the 2021 season and ultimately transferred to the Northern Colorado Bears.[6]
