Jake Heaps (born June 19, 1991) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. Heaps was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2015. Heaps played for several universities during his collegiate career including Miami (FL), Kansas and Brigham Young.
Heaps attended Skyline High School in Sammamish, Washington, and played as a quarterback for their football team. He led the football team to 4A Washington state titles in 2008 and 2009. During those three years he passed for a combined 9196 yards and 114 touchdowns, the bulk of those touchdowns to Tanner Filip. After leading Skyline High School to two Washington 4A state titles, Heaps was rated as the top quarterback prospect in the country by multiple recruiting services.
After his senior season at Skyline in 2009, Heaps signed a letter of intent to play college football at Brigham Young University (BYU). Despite the fact that BYU was his parents' desired school, Heaps wanted to play for the University of Washington. Coming out of high school, Heaps was the number one rated high school quarterback in the country according to the recruiting services Scout.com and Rivals.com. Heaps was also named as top quarterback on the Parade All-America Team and was invited to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Some recruiting analysts have felt that his poise, judgement, and throwing accuracy, would be a good fit in the Cougars' spread offense.
