The 23-year-old Jacob, who is the reigning All Jamaica champion, was selected ahead of the likes of Nicholas Gore and Jeremy Miller for the final spot on the national team.
Along with Jacob and Blaise, the other members of the team are Rowland Phillips, John Chin and Daniel Azar.
Mel Spence is the head coach of the team.
