Description: FARGO Jacksen Moni is heading home.

The West Fargo native announced Wednesday morning that he will transfer to North Dakota State to spend his final season of eligibility playing for the Bison.



The 6-foot-10 forward entered the NCAA transfer portal on March 21 after three standout seasons at Northern State in Aberdeen, South Dakota playing for former Bison head coach Saul Phillips.



The day after Moni entered the portal, NDSU offered him.



Moni averaged 21 points, 8 rebounds and three assists per game this past season in earning a first-team Northern Sun selection.



Moni was highly sought after when entering the portal. He took visits to Wyoming, Drake and Illinois State, but chose to return home and play for Dave Richman's team.




Moni's size and ability to shoot the three-point shot made him a highly attractive transfer. He shot 33% from three-point range this past season, which at 6-10 is impressive. NDSU returns its top three three-point shooters from last year in Jacari White, Tajavis Miller and Noah Feddesen.



Feddersen, who is also 6-foot-10, shot 39% on three's making 21 of 54 attempts.



Moni returns to Fargo after a stellar career at West Fargo Sheyenne, playing for head coach Tom Kirchoffner. He averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds a game during his high school career for the Mustangs, he was a Mister Basketball finalist in his senior season in 2021. Moni and Sheyenne lost in the state semifinals that year to West Fargo.



He reached the 1,000 point mark during his junior season with the Wolves, along with being named the Division II player of the week during mid-February.



Moni finishes his Northern State career with 1,527 points and 559 rebounds.



Moni is the second transfer to join the NDSU men's basketball roster for next season. Last week, VMI transfer point guard Brennan Watkins announced he was transferring to the Bison. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining.



NDSU saw five players leave through the portal after the season ended. Andrew Morgan transferred to Nebraska, Boden Skunberg to Illinois State, Josh Streit and Lance Waddles to Omaha and Sam Hastreiter to MSU Moorhead.
