Jacob House is a former professional baseball player who is currently serving with Sports Spectrum as a marketing integration manager. In college, Jacob played baseball with Arkansas in the SEC and Texas A&M in the Big 12. In his two seasons with the Aggies, House hit over .300 twice and had 108 RBI in 128 games played and helped his team to a Big 12 Championship in 2011 as well as a birth at the Men's College World Series that same year."
