As a four-star recruit on a nationally renowned high school prep squad - one that featured daytime soap star Brian Bowen and future DePaul star Tyger Campbell - Jacob Epperson played a man in the middle. He was dealt offers from three Texas schools (Longhorns, Aggies, Horned Frogs), Press Virginia, the Runnin’ Rebels, and the illiterate weirdos from Wichita.
He went with Creighton.
At 6’11 and 205lbs he’ll make a valiant attempt to fill the gigantic shoes leftover by Justin Patton. It’s hard not to fathom why someone like Epperson would go to Creighton after seeing Patton’s transformation.
