Former Iowa LB Jestin Jacobs commits to Oregon

Oregon bolstered its linebacking corps for 2023 with the transfer of Jestin Jacobs from Iowa.

With Justin Flowe leaving and the distinct possibility of Noah Sewell moving on to the NFL, the Oregon Ducks football team of 2023 could be a bit light on linebackers.

But the depth chart just gained one for next season as former Iowa Hawkeye Jestin Jacobs has announced he will be an Oregon Duck for his senior season.

Jacobs played in all 14 games last season and started eight. But he suffered a season-ending injury at Rutgers in Week 3. It was an undisclosed injury that did need surgery.

Iowa expected Jacobs to return to Iowa City for 2023 before he announced via Twitter on Dec. 6 that would be entering the portal. Just a few days later, he’s an Oregon Duck.
