August 31, 2020 | Men's Basketball
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team, along with head coach Michael Huger, have announced the signing of Jacob Washington (Los Angeles, Calif. / George Washington Prep / Los Angeles Harbor College / Cerritos College) to a National Letter of Intent. The program announced his signing on Monday, Aug. 31.
Washington is a 6-foot-8 forward/center that is immediately eligible for the 2020-21 season. Washington, a native of Los Angeles, has two years of eligibility remaining for BGSU. Over the last two seasons, he played at Cerritos College (2019-20) and Los Angeles Harbor College (2018-19). Both institutions compete in the California Community College Athletic Association.
"I am excited to announce the addition of Jacob Washington," said head coach Michael Huger. "Jacob is a versatile post player that has the ability to play multiple positions. He comes to Bowling Green after having consistent success at the junior college level. He was able to score on the block and shoot from the perimeter. Jacob will also give our roster a valuable rebounder and rim protector. Off the court, Falcon fans will love his personality and character."
Washington was a First Team All-Conference selection in 2019-20, as he averaged 10.0 points and 6.6 rebounds at Cerritos College. Washington, who shot 46.0 percent from the field and 76.7 percent from the free throw line, led the Falcons to a 20-10 season that culminated with a conference championship.
In 2019-20, Washington scored in double-figures 17 times, which included a three-game stretch where he converted 21-of-34 field goals and averaged 17 points. During that stretch, Washington posted 17 points and a season-high 17 rebounds against Pasadena City College. Washington shot at least 50.0 percent from the floor in 11 of his 17 double-digit scoring games. At Cerritos, Washington played in all 30 games and made 25 starts.
In his first season of college basketball at LAHC, Washington played in 24 games (17 starts), posting averages of 10.3 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor. Washington scored in double figures nine times as a freshman, including a pair of 20-point games and a 33-point outburst versus Los Angeles Trade Tech. Washington pulled down 9-plus rebounds a total of 10 times in 2018-19.
