Nebraska transfer forward Michael Jacobson has committed to Iowa State, according to a report by Cyclone Fanatic‘s Chris Williams. Jacobson will sit out the 2017-18 season then will be eligible for the Cyclones in 2018-19 and 2019-2020.

Jacobson, a 6-foot-9 Waukee-native, averaged 6.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 24 minutes per game for the Huskers last season. He started all 31 of the team’s games.

He averaged 5.3 points and 5.2 rebounds during his two seasons in Lincoln.

Jacobson’s commitment leaves Iowa State with one scholarship officially open for the 2017-18 season, and another likely to come open after three-star Texas guard Darius McNeill requested a full release from his National Letter of Intent.

Jacobson was an all-state performer for Waukee after averaging 18.6 points on 49.7 percent shooting during his senior season in 2014-15. He joins Virginia transfer guard Marial Shayok as sit-out transfers for next season.
