AS A SOPHOMORE (2011-12): Jeske had a huge sophomore campaign for the Razorbacks finishing third on the team in singles wins (14) and also earned his first singles ranking of his career when he started the 2012 spring as the No. 109 player in the nation. Jeske went on to defeat four ranked players during the year with the highest coming against No. 54 Dennis Lengsfeld of Auburn at the UNLV Invite during the fall. Jeske spent the majority of his time at the No. 4 spot in singles where he earned five wins, but also saw action at the Nos. 1 and 2 spots. Jeske also scored two wins in SEC dual play, but had just as large impact in doubles with teammate Mike Nott. Jeske and Nott split all of their dual play between the No. 2 and 3 positions with their best success coming at No. 3 where the team went 6-2. Nine wins totaled the duo's dual season with three coming in SEC play. Overall, Jeske and Nott finished second on the team with 12 wins and were one of only two Razorback doubles teams to have at least 10 wins on the year. The tandem only scored one win against a ranked opponent, but it was a big one as it helped the Razorbacks earn the doubles point against highly ranked Mississippi State. Jeske and Nott handedly defeated Artem Ilyushin and George Coupland, 8-1, when the Bulldogs were ranked No. 43 in the nation. 

AS A FRESHMAN (2010-11): Jeske joined the Razorbacks mid-season and started his collegiate career in the spring. Jeske played in seven singles matches, going 4-3.
