LOGAN, Utah — Utah State tapped one of the most successful head coaches of the past two decades, Ben Jacobson, as its 23rd men's basketball head coach in program history on Monday, as announced by Utah State Vice President and Director of Athletics Cameron Walker.
Jacobson is one of the most respected and consistent winners in college basketball, bringing a track record of sustained success, player development and championship culture to Utah State.
He comes to Logan after a successful 20-year tenure at the University of Northern Iowa, where he built a dominant program. His teams earned multiple top-25 rankings, posted NCAA Tournament wins over top-seeded opponents and achieved strong academic and on-court success.
"Utah State is one of the country's premier men's basketball programs, and we needed a leader who embodies that tradition and is committed to building on our rich history," Walker said.
