Jacob Holmen
Jacob Ervin Holmen (born August 17, 1991) is an American former professional basketball player. He played four years of college basketball for North Texas, but his time on the court was restricted due to injuries, including his senior year where he sat out the entire second half of the season after sustaining a third concussion in just over a year. Upon turning pro, he played in Australia and Bulgaria, making a name for himself in the State Basketball League (SBL). He was named the SBL MVP in 2017 and won an SBL championship in 2018, but two knee injuries in less than a year saw his playing career come to an end.
Holmen was born in the U.S. state of Ohio. He attended Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas, where he played for the school's basketball team. As a sophomore, he was named the 11-4A Newcomer of the Year. As a junior, he was the District 11-4A Defensive Player of the Year and a First-Team All-East Texas selection by the Tyler Morning Telegraph. He averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks per game in leading Whitehouse to the 2008 Regional semifinals.
On November 19, 2008, Holmen signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for the University of North Texas.
As a senior in 2008–09, Holmen averaged 20 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in earning All-East Texas MVP honors.
A versatile athlete, Holmen also lettered in football and track at Whitehouse. Specializing as a sprinter, Holmen took first place in District 14-4A in both the 400-meter dash and the 4x400-meter relay, and won his heat in the 400 at the Region II 4A Track Championships.
As a freshman at North Texas in 2009–10, Holmen played a career-high 31 games with eight starts, and averaged 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game. On December 28, he hit a 15-foot jumper with three seconds remaining to lift North Texas to a 71–69 victory over Texas Southern. He was a member of NT's Sun Belt tournament championship, which saw them move onto the 2010 NCAA tournament where they lost in the first round of the West Regional finals. Holmen saw six minutes in the NCAA tournament game against Kansas State.
As a sophomore in 2010–11, Holmen missed the final seven games of the season after suffering a broken hand in a loss to Louisiana-Monroe on February 19. In 26 games, he averaged 5.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game off the bench. He had gradually ascended late in the season, having scored in double figures in three of his final six games and posted a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds in a loss to Louisiana-Lafayette on January 27.
As a junior in 2011–12, Holmen played 22 games and made a career-high 14 starts. He subsequently averaged a career-high 7.0 points with 3.3 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game. He suffered two concussions during the season and missed 10 games. On February 11, he scored a then career-high 20 points in an 86–81 double-overtime win over Florida Atlantic. He was held scoreless in the first half, but scored 12 of NT's 16 points to open the second half. In the semifinal of the 2012 Sun Belt tournament, he scored a career-high 21 points in a 76–72 win over Arkansas State. In the final, he scored 11 points in a 74–70 loss to Western Kentucky. He was subsequently named in the Sun Belt All-Tournament Team.
