Fall Camp: The Trojans have a young roster this season with 11 underclassmen working to get playing time come November.

The freshman is focused on developing his decision making and his shot in the early weeks of fall training camp.Â
In his own words: "I love it. I wake up every day looking forward to practice. Being a freshman, I got really lucky with how everything worked out," said Jacobs.Â
