Even before the transfer portal window for NCAA Division I men’s basketball opened Tuesday, over the past several weeks reports about players who were planning on entering the portal had spread in the news and on social media.
The shakeup of rosters around the country will continue to be a major storyline as the offseason rolls on.
Here’s a running list of players from the state of Utah’s seven Division I men’s college basketball programs — Utah, BYU, Utah State, Weber State, Southern Utah, Utah Valley and Utah Tech — who are reportedly entering the portal during the spring 2026 window, as well as transfers who commit to those seven schools.
Various reports have been used to create this list, with aggregation news service Verbal Commits serving as the primary source, unless otherwise noted.
The 15-day spring portal for men’s basketball officially opened April 7 and closed April 21.
Players are permitted to withdraw from the portal at any time — and conversely can commit to a new school at any time — but may only enter the transfer portal during those dates. The portal closed at midnight EDT on April 21.
The list will be updated as players announce their intentions.
