Jacob Koretz gives Occidental a steady, veteran backcourt presence
In the 2025-26 season, Jacob Koretz is a senior guard for Occidental whose value goes beyond box-score numbers: ESPN lists him with 2.0 assists per game, and recent coverage describes him as emotionally consistent with a bit of “mystique,” the kind of calm, low-drama backcourt leader coaches love in tight games. He’s a 6'3" guard with experience and poise, and he helped Occidental reach the SCIAC tournament for the first time since 2020, which makes him the sort of mature, dependable fit teams want when they need structure, composure, and guard play they can trust.
