Jacob Doerksen 
Few athletes left a mark as indelible as Jacob Doerksen on the Trinity Western men's basketball program. Doerksen, who graduated in 2011, was a force on the court, a leader by example, and a name forever etched in the history of Spartan men's basketball.
 
After transferring to TWU from the University of Victoria, Doerksen had an immediate impact on the Spartans program. In his first year in Langley, 2008-09, Doerksen was named the Canada West and U SPORTS Player of the Year. He followed that up with two more seasons in which he was named a Canada West First Team All-Star, capping his time with the Spartans by leading TWU on a historic run to the 2011 national championship final. 
 
Over his university career, Doerksen accomplished the rare feat of being named a five-time Canada West All-Star, including four First Team honours, helping lead the Spartans on an unprecedented run of U SPORTS success.
 
Already inducted into the Canada West Hall of Fame, Doerksen is now a member of the Trinity Western University Spartans Hall of Fame.
