Because of NCAA transfer rules, Sackett will be forced to sit out the 2019 season. Beginning in 2020, though, the Fort Worth native will have two years of eligibility with which to work.
In two seasons with the Roadrunners, Sackett connected on 33-of-41 field goals and 41-of-42 point-after attempts. Sackett has been a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award each of the past two years.
