Meet the Players- Jacob Karker



Hi, my name is Jake Karker and I'm a sophomore here at Hartwick. I'm from Schoharie NY, a small town about an hour west of the college. Besides basketball, I enjoy playing golf, video games, and hanging out with my friends.

Hartwick has been great for me. i enjoy the classes I've taken and the basketball experience thus far has been awesome. Everyone on the team has become a close friend of mine and the freshman players are blending in well. I'm looking forward to another successful season.
