Jake Wahlin is making headlines as he transfers to BYU. A recent report confirms Wahlin, the former Utah and Clemson forward, committed to join BYU for the 2026-27 season.
Key points:
- Wahlin is a 6-foot-10 forward from Provo, Utah, who previously played at Utah and Clemson. His transfer brings him back to his hometown program, BYU, for one year of eligibility.[1][3]
- BYU announced his signing as part of a 2026-27 roster update, highlighting his versatility, floor-stretching ability, and rebounding impact.[3]
- Wahlin previously signed with BYU in 2020, then flipped to Utah after a mission, and later played for Clemson in 2025-26 before returning to BYU.[2][4][7]
