Kooper Jacobi is EIU’s glass-cleaning, high-motor frontcourt anchor
Jacobi is a reliable two-way forward who gives Eastern Illinois rebounding, interior toughness, and steady production; in the 2024-25 season, he averaged 13.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game and ranked among the OVC’s best on the glass, with multiple double-doubles and a stretch of standout late-season games. [9][11] What makes him useful is not just the numbers: he plays heavy minutes, competes with a consistent motor, and has shown he can step up in big spots while providing efficient scoring from the floor and enough skill to fit as a complementary frontcourt piece. [11][12][13]
