Ackerman, a 6'3 forward/center from Lawrence, Kansas, played for coach Phog Allen at Kansas from 1922 to 1925. At the University of Kansas, he was a starter on the 1922–23 Jayhawk team that was retroactively named national champions by the Helms Athletic Foundation and was named an All-American by that same organization for both 1924 and 1925.[3]
Following his collegiate career, Ackerman played Amateur Athletic Union basketball for the Kansas City Athletic Club, where he was named an AAU All-American in 1925 and 1926.[4]
