Utah basketball has officially kicked off its 2025 recruiting season with a major win, securing a commitment from standout combo guard Terrence Brown. The 6-foot-3 player, who has been a scoring machine for Fairleigh Dickinson, is the first transfer addition for head coach Alex Jensen’s program.
Brown’s decision to join the Utes comes after a remarkable sophomore season, where he was named the Northeast Conference’s Most Improved Player. The versatile guard showcased his all-around game, averaging 20.6 points per game (ranking eighth nationally), 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 steals. His impressive shooting accuracy of 44.8% from the field helped solidify his reputation as one of the top performers in the transfer portal.
This commitment was first reported by On3’s Joe Tipton, who also noted that Brown had a Zoom visit with Utah earlier this week, according to 247 Sports’ Dushawn London.
How Does Terrence Brown Fit Into Utah’s Plans?
As the first player to commit to the Utes under Coach Alex Jensen, Brown will bring much-needed scoring depth to a team that is undergoing a significant overhaul. With a number of key players, including Gabe Madsen, Mason Madsen, and Hunter Erickson, all departing the program, there’s plenty of opportunity for Brown to make an immediate impact. Additionally, with Miro Little’s status uncertain due to his transfer portal entry, Brown’s scoring prowess will be crucial as Utah seeks to rebuild its guard lineup.
Brown brings a fresh dynamic to Utah’s backcourt, and with two years of eligibility left, he has the potential to become a cornerstone of the team’s future success. With heavy turnover expected, including the loss of key guards, Brown’s ability to step into a leading role will be key for Coach Jensen as he navigates his first full season at the helm.
A Star in the Making
Brown’s rise as a four-star transfer shows the kind of talent Utah is attracting under Jensen’s leadership. This is just the beginning for the Utes, as they look to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season. Fans can expect big things from Brown, who has already proven he’s capable of taking over games and contributing at the highest level.
Stay tuned to see how Brown will help shape Utah’s basketball future.
