UNI's Versatile 6'11" Big with Scoring Punch and Preseason All-MVC Nod
Jacob Hutson exploded in 2024-25 for UNI Panthers, starting all 32 games with 11.7 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 1.7 APG, and efficient 47.5% FG shooting, including seven 20+ point outbursts and a career-high 26 vs. UIC.[1][3] This 6'11" Minnesota native from Edina HS stands out as a skilled stretch big who drains 3s (31% on 71 tries), blocks shots (0.5 BPG), and plays with relentless intensity—preseason Second Team All-MVC and MVC Honor Roll.[1] No major injury flags; his high-motor versatility and winning impact (20-12 record) make him a prime pro fit for teams needing a mobile, multi-faceted center.[1][3][7]
