Bowling Green State University transfer, Jacob Washington, has decided he will be attending Humboldt State University as announced by head men’s basketball coach Tae Norwood.  Washington was a member of the Bowling Green State University men’s basketball team this past academic year after attending Cerritos College.

 “Jacob is a great addition to our program,” said Coach Norwood.  “His combination of fundamentals, size, and length is a perfect fit for our up-tempo style of play. He is skilled and moves really well for his size. Jacob has a soft touch around the rim and is capable of scoring on the perimeter. Selflessness, veteran leadership, and high energy are some of the intangibles that best describes Jacob’s character.”

 During this past year at Bowling Green State, Washington played in 25 games while starting in two of them for the 14-12 Falcons. He scored 75 points and grabbed 60 rebounds while shooting 47% from the field.  Washington transferred to Bowling Green State from Cerritos College where he was a member of the men’s basketball team.

 At Cerritos, Washington earned First Team All-Conference honors while averaging 10.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.  He shot 46% from the field and 76% from the charity stripe while shooting 50% from the field in 11 of his 17 double-digit scoring games in 2019-20.  The newest member to the Lumberjacks’ men’s basketball team started in all but five of the 30 games for the 20-10 Falcons during his sophomore season.

 The George Washington Prep High School graduate is the son of Diana Washington of Los Angeles, California.
