Jacobs was born in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana.[1] He played for the West Indies under-19s at the 2008 Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia, as vice-captain to Shamarh Brooks.[2] At the tournament, Jacobs won two man of the match awards – against Papua New Guinea he scored 101 from 86 balls,[3] while against Ireland he took 3/18 and made 40 not out.[4] He had already made his first-class debut before appearing in the World Cup, playing two matches for Guyana in the 2005–06 Carib Beer Cup, aged 17.[5]

During the 2008–09 season, Jacobs played regularly himself in Guyana's four-day and one-day teams, scoring maiden half-centuries in both forms of the game. However, he fell out of the form the following season, and did not regain a regular position until the 2012–13 season.[5][6] In the 2012–13 Regional Four Day Competition, Jacobs scored 245 runs, placing him behind only Leon Johnson and Assad Fudadin for Guyana,[7] and also took 17 wickets, behind only Veerasammy Permaul and Devendra Bishoo amongst his teammates.[8] He signed with the Amazon Warriors for the inaugural 2013 Caribbean Premier League season, but has only made sporadic appearances for the team.[9]

On 3 June 2018, he was selected to play for the Vancouver Knights in the players' draft for the inaugural edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament.[10][11]
