Heading to Utah State Jacobs (undisclosed) is transferring to Utah State.
Impact Jacobs will head to Utah State after serving two seasons with Arizona State and then playing this past year with New Mexico. The sophomore running back had an undisclosed injury during the latter half of this past campaign, but he should have ample time to recover as he becomes an Aggie with two years of eligibility remaining.

Impact Reider's update downgrades Jacobs' injury status from questionable to doubtful, with the running back in line for a third consecutive absence.
