Cy Woods All-Time Roster: Number 3

Hayden Dobbs, a starting linebacker and team captain in 2008, was the first Wildcat to wear 3. He was one of the top performers on the defense and earned a 1st-team All-District 15-5A selection. After Cy Woods, he moved on to play at McNeese State and coached at Cy Park for a year before making a career change.

Jacob Kainer made the varsity in 2015, his sophomore year, and served as the backup quarterback. He became the starter in 2016 and was supposed to start again in 2017, but he suffered an injury before the first game against Cy Springs.

Jacob couldn't catch a break. He broke his leg as a sophomore. He got the starting job in 2016 but struggled as he was probably dealing with the mental effects of such a catastrophic injury. He was set to be the starter again in 2017 but got hurt in the build-up to the season opener.

He was also a standout lacrosse player in high school. Jacob began his college football career as a tight end at Tyler Junior College and then moved on to the University of Tulsa.

Tevis Adams switched to #3 in his junior year after wearing #33 as a sophomore in 2017. He was mainly a backup in his three seasons; he was a starter early in his junior season, which was cut short due to an injury.
