Runnin' Utes Ink Timpview's Jake Wahlin Ahead of 2023-24 Campaign
5/22/2023 11:04 AM | Men's Basketball
Utah men’s basketball adds Jake Wahlin, a Timpview HS graduate, for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah head men's basketball coach Craig Smith announced the signing of Jake Wahlin from Timpview High School late Monday morning.
"We are excited to welcome Jake Wahlin to our Runnin' Utes family," said Smith. "Jake is a tremendous competitor who comes from a great family and is just scratching the surface of the player he can become. Standing at 6-10, Jake brings skill and versatility at the wing position that you just don't see at his size. I have no doubt that Jake will be a fan favorite amongst the Runnin' Ute faithful here at the U for the next four years."
Wahlin joins the Runnin' Utes after spending the last two years in Lithuania serving his mission for The Church of Jesus Christ for Latter Day Saints.
The Keller, Texas, native spent his prep career playing at Timpview High School in Provo, Utah, and guided the Thunderbirds to a runner-up finish in the state championship his junior year – which was played inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center. He also helped THS capture two regional titles, once as a freshman and then as a senior where they went 12-0 in regional play. During his prep career, Wahlin led the T-Birds to a 75-29 overall record.
He was a McDonald's All-American Game nominee his senior year after guiding THS to a 22-4 overall record. The 6-10 forward was also consensus three-star recruit out of high school by 247Sports, Rivals and ESPN. In addition, he was rated the No. 2 recruit out of Utah his senior year by 247Sports and ESPN on top of earning a West Coast Elite Top-100 camp invite.
Wahlin comes from a family of athletes with plenty of ties to the state of Utah. His father played football at BYU while his sister Malery was a member of the volleyball team at BYU that played in the 2014 National Championship game vs. Penn State. His grandfather, Marvin, was a back for Arizona State in the early 1950s and was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1953.
With the addition of Wahlin, the Runnin' Utes now have five newcomers having recently signed Deivon Smith (Mississippi State / Georgia Tech) along with Cole Bajema (Michigan / Washington), Lawson Lovering (Central HS / Colorado) and Hunter Erickson (BYU / SLCC).
