Who is he?
Jacob Wehr is a late-blooming running-defender who was part of Woodville-West Torrens premiership-winning SANFL side in 2020. He’s a classy left foot line-breaker who was one of the Eagles’ prime ball users this year, renowned for pinpoint accuracy and clean possessions by both hand and foot. Wehr made his senior debut this year and went on to play an important role in the 14 game season, which saw the 22-year old rocket into draft contention.
What we say:
Jacob had a strong year in the SANFL across half-back and was part of the premiership-winning Eagles team. He is a strong runner and nice left-foot kick and gives some flexibility to push up onto the wing. - National recruiting manager Adrian Caruso
Here is the 14th and final @SANFL player selected in 2020 #AFLDraft - @EAGLES_WWTFC Jacob Wehr. Classy left-footer, who could potentially get an early chance with @GWSGIANTS next year. Great story of persistence given he played 3 seasons of Reserves before League debut this year. pic.twitter.com/Nvc9FDmOUk
