BYU added its third transfer this cycle as Clemson transfer Jake Wahlin announced his commitment to BYU.
Jake signed with BYU before his mission, but after he returned home and played at Utah for two seasons. He played at Clemson this past season.
Listed at 6-foot-10, Wahlin started 29 games for Clemson this past season, averaging 5.3 points and 3.9 rebounds in 20 minutes per game. He shot 34.5% from three and 37% from three in ACC play. Jake was also top 10 in ACC play in defensive rebound percentage.
Jake gives BYU another experience piece to stretch out the rotation. At 6-foot-10, he can either play the wing or as a stretch four. Jake can hit shots and can rebound from his position. He’s also a versatile defender at his size and did a nice job guarding AJ in BYU’s matchup versus Clemson.
Jake grew up a BYU fan and will be able to finish his last season in the place where he originally committed and grew up rooting. I don’t expect him to start, but he’ll fill out BYU’s rotation and gives BYU positional size, rebounding, and shooting to lengthen out the rotation.
