Iowa State sophomore guard Jakolby Long will be transferring from Iowa State, according to a press release from coach Steve Prohm. 

Long played in 22 games off the bench this season. He averaged 9.5 minutes per game, which was fewest on the 2017-18 team. 

During his time on the court, Long averaged 1.9 points per game and 1.3 rebounds per game along with 13 total assists and four steals. 

“We appreciate Jakolby’s effort and hard work for our program,” Prohm said in the press release. “He has been a good teammate and we wish him the best as he moves forward academically and athletically.”

Long’s new school hasn’t been determined yet, but this transfer gives Iowa State another open spot on the roster. The Cyclones already have four recruits coming in, two players returning to the lineup after sitting out due to NCAA transfer rules and only three seniors graduating from last year’s roster.
