Alex Jensen and his coaching staff didn’t have to look far to find their first transfer portal addition this cycle.

Former Utah Valley guard Jackson Holcombe, who was an All-WAC first team and all-defensive team honoree during the 2025-26 season, announced his commitment to the University of Utah on social media Tuesday.

Who is Jackson Holcombe?

Holcombe is a 6-foot-7 guard who has two years of eligibility remaining.

He spent the past three seasons at Utah Valley and became an every-game starter during the 2025-26 campaign.

Holcombe led the Wolverines by averaging 16.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. He was also a disruptive force on the defensive side, averaging 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

He shot 53% from the floor and 68.2% from the free-throw line, while shooting just 16.7% from 3-point range.

Holcombe is currently rated the No. 51 transfer in the spring window by On3 Sports.

How does Jackson Holcombe fit into Utah’s 2026-27 plans?

Holcombe is the first transfer to commit to the Utes this cycle.

Utah has numerous holes to fill, after eight players who finished the season on Utah’s roster — and two others who left the program midseason — entered the transfer portal.

The Utes will have a brand-new starting lineup next season, and Holcombe, as a junior, should push for a starting spot along the wing.
