Cale Jacobsen Announces Return to Nebraska Men’s Basketball for 2025-26 Season
The Nebraska Huskers will have a local talent back on their roster for the 2025-26 season. While two Huskers have entered the transfer portal since the conclusion of the College Basketball Crown, one local player is staying put.
Cale Jacobsen shared on Instagram “All N on red,” confirming he won’t be transferring like Nick Janowski and Gavin Griffiths.
Jacobsen, a redshirt sophomore from Ashland, had limited playing time during the regular season. The 6-4 guard didn’t play more than three minutes in any game until the College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas.

During the Crown, Jacobsen became a key contributor to the team’s run to a postseason title. Over four games, including three starts, he averaged 26 minutes, 5 points, 4.25 rebounds, 3.25 assists, and 1.75 steals while shooting 53%, including hitting 3-of-4 three-pointers.
Jacobsen joined the program as a walk-on in 2022 and spent his first season as a redshirt on the scout team. In the 2023-24 season, he appeared in 20 games.
Head coach Fred Hoiberg is continuing to reshape the roster for next season, with confirmed returnees Jacobsen and Connor Essegian. Nebraska has also added three transfers: Pryce Sandfort from Iowa, Ugnius Jarusevicius from Central Michigan, and former Husker Jamarcus Lawrence, returning from Rhode Island.
