Michael Jacobs powers Southern with efficient scoring and playmaking punch
In the 2025-26 season, Southern guard Michael Jacobs emerged as one of the SWAC’s top all-around backcourt threats, averaging 17.6 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.7 rebounds while earning Second Team All-SWAC honors. He brings a high-usage, high-minute engine to the Jaguars, with multiple 20-point outings and a knack for creating offense late in games. The fit question is easy: if a team needs a tough, experienced lead guard who can score, facilitate, and shoulder pressure, Jacobs checks a lot of boxes.
