Scouting Report
Jilek was named All-State last season after recording 100 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, and a forced fumble. With his size, he’ll likely play mike linebacker at Minnesota, though his frame does leave the door open for him to grow into a defensive lineman. He reminds me of current Gopher linebacker Matt Kingsbury — both big linebackers with good athleticism and instincts. While Jilek has all the makings of a physical, downhill linebacker, I have questions about his speed and how well he can hold up in pass coverage. There is a lot to be refined at the collegiate level, but he seems to have the physical tools.
