AMES — Former Nebraska forward Michael Jacobson is transferring to Iowa State.

Jacobson, who grew up just down the road from Ames in Waukee, Iowa, is a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward. He made 56 starts in two seasons with the Cornhuskers, averaging 5.3 points and 5.2 rebounds a game.

Jacobson also pulled down 153 offensive rebounds for Nebraska, an area Iowa State struggled with last season.

Jacobson will sit out next season per NCAA transfer rules. He’ll have two seasons left to play for the Cyclones.
