According to a press release, Utah Tech signed former Utah State wing Dallin Grant.

The 6-foot-8 Grant is no stranger to Southern Utah. During his senior season at Cedar High School, Grant helped the Reds win their first state championship in 25 years and was named the 2021 Utah Player of the Year.

Grant will have four years of eligibility in St. George after having redshirted a year with the Aggies.

Also transferring to Utah Tech is 6-foot-5 guard Justin Bieker, who will have one year of eligibility after playing four seasons for San Francisco.

“Justin is a great addition to our program,” Trailblazers coach Jon Judkins said in a press release.

“He plays with great energy and instincts. Justin is a high IQ player that plays the game the right way,” Judkins said. “He comes from a great program and will bring age and experience to our roster.”

Bieker averaged 1.2 points and 0.8 rebounds in 28 games off the bench for the Dons last season.
