Jacob Ortega joined the High Point staff as a graduate assistant in the summer of 2023. Over the past two season with the Panthers, he helped High Point compile and overall record of 56-15 with a 27-5 Big South record. He helped the staff lead HPU to its first ever-NCAA tournament appearance as the No. 13 seed and matched up against No. 4 seed Purdue. He helped the staff turn around an under .500 program and guided the Panthers to back-to-back outright Big South Regular Season titles for the first time in program history. High Point became the first team in the Big South since 2011 (Coastal Carolina) to win back-to-back outright regular season titles. HPU finished with an overall record of 29-6 during the 2024-25 season, which tied for the most wins in Big South program history (Winthrop, 2006-07) and the most wins in HPU program history.
