TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State men's basketball head coach Josh Schertz announced Friday the signing of graduate transfer Jake Wolfe out of Morehead State.
 
The 6-5 Aurora, Ill. native spent three years at Lipscomb before playing the last two seasons at Morehead State where he helped lead the Eagles to the OVC regular season title in 2023 followed by their first-ever NIT win that same season. He also appeared in the OVC Tournament Championship game with the Eagles in 2022.
 
"Jake is a terrific player, but most importantly to me, he's an elite winner," said Coach Schertz. "Everywhere he's been, his teams have won at an exceptionally high level. His combination of skill, savvy, toughness, and versatility on both ends of the floor is the perfect fit for this group. His championship experience, competitiveness, and leadership qualities will positively impact the Championship DNA we are working to build inside of our program."
 
In two seasons at Morehead State, Wolfe appeared in all 68 games with 66 starts. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game as a redshirt senior and shot .362 from three, which was tied for third best on the team. He led the Eagles in 3-point shooting percentage his redshirt junior year with a clip of .480.
 
At Lipscomb, Wolfe was a member of the 2018-19 team that advanced to the championship game of the NIT in New York City and won 29 games. He was a part of 60 wins in three seasons and played in two Atlantic Sun Conference championship games.
 
In 2020-21, Wolfe averaged 6.7 points while hitting 40 percent from the floor in 26 games with 21 starts. He had back-to-back breakout performances against fellow Ohio Valley Conference team Southeast Missouri where he scored 22 and 26 points. He also had four other double-figure scoring games and made 75 percent of his free throws.
 
He was off to a solid start his sophomore season, averaging 5.1 points and 1.7 assists in eight games before an injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season. He played in 35 games as a freshman, helping Lipscomb to a regular season ASUN title. He had season-bests of 16 points and seven rebounds in a win over Stetson.
 
Wolfe is a product of Aurora (Ill.) Christian School, where he was a two-time all-district and all-region pick playing for head coach Dan Beebee. He was named all-state in 2016-17 and twice helped his team win its region championship.
