Iowa State lands SoCon Freshman of the Year Jackson Paveletzke

T.J. Otzelberger snagged a big fish in the transfer portal, landing highly sought after Wofford point guard Jackson Paveletzke on Monday.

The 6-3 floor general was named Southern Conference Freshman of the Year this past season after pumping in 15.1 points, while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from the 3-point line, 2.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

Paveletzke was also named All-SoCon third team after scoring in double figures 28 of the 33 games this season. Perhaps his best outing this season was a 22-point, six-rebound, four-assist performance in a 67-62 win over Texas A&M in December.

Paveletzke's size, three-level scoring ability, vision and feel should mesh with with Otzelberger's offensive pace and scheme.

Paveletzke checks in at No. 52 in the Rivals Transfer Portal Rankings.
