[edit] Career

[edit] High School and College

Jacobson attended Gunn High School, where he was named 2003 Central Coast Section Player of the Year, and played college soccer at UC Berkeley from 2003 to 2006, where he was named to the all Pac-10 team three times.

[edit] Professional

Jacobson was the 24th overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, and the first pick by D.C. United. However, instead of playing in MLS, Jacobson chose to sign a contract with Lorient of France’s Ligue 1. Unfortunately for Jacobson, injuries limited his playing time, and he never actually played a first team game for Les Merlus.

Despite trialling with several clubs in Europe, Jacobson returned to MLS in 2009, and was allocated to the team which originally drafted him, D.C. United. He made his United debut as a substitute in DC's first game of the 2009 MLS season against Los Angeles Galaxy^[1].

[edit] International

Jacobson was named to the United States national futsal team, and was a substitute in four matches at the 2008 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Brazil.
