A former Nebraska basketball player has signed a contract to play in the NBA. Forward Jack McVeigh has agreed to a two-way deal with the Houston Rockets .

The Australian played three seasons for the Cornhuskers (2015-2018). He would appear in 78 games at Nebraska, averaging 5.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.

McVeigh would depart Nebraska after his junior season due to reduced playing time and sign with the Adelaide 36ers of Australia’s National Basketball League .

He would spend the 2024 season with the Tasmania JackJumpers. McVeigh averaged 16.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

He was named to the All-NBL Second Team and was also the MVP of the championship series. McVeigh recently earned a spot on a basketball team for the 2024 Paris Olympics representing his home country of Australia.
