[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]
Jacobson was selected by Philadelphia Union in the 2009 MLS Expansion Draft on November 25, 2009.[2]
Jacobson was traded to FC Dallas on February 18, 2011.[3] He scored his first professional goal on May 28, 2011 while playing for Dallas against Houston Dynamo.[4]
[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.
