The Intense, Assist-Driven USC Guard Who Led Trojans to First NCAA Tourney Since 2011
Julian Jacobs, the 6-2 point guard for USC, is a high-intensity differentiator who led the team in assists and steals (36) during the 2015–16 season, propelling USC to its first NCAA tournament since 2010–11 and earning First-team All-Pac-12 honors in 2016. Beyond stats, Jacobs stands out for his relentless defensive pressure, 19 dunks in two seasons, and a personality fueled by a massive family of nine siblings that drives his team-first mentality. Though he declared for the 2016 NBA Draft without an agent (retaining eligibility to return as a senior), his on-court intensity and Jerry West Award finalist status make him a perfect fit for any team needing a gritty, playmaking guard who elevates teammates under pressure.
