Alec Anigbata, a 21-year-old forward from Munich, Germany, is set to join the University of Utah's basketball team for the 2026-27 season. Standing at 6 feet 8 inches and weighing 198 pounds, Anigbata has accumulated valuable experience playing for Ratiopharm Ulm in the German Bundesliga, where he averaged 5.4 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.7 steals, and 0.6 assists per game last season. His shooting stats include 46% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc. Prior to his time with Ulm, Anigbata had a standout season with OrangeAcademy in the ProB league, averaging 15.5 points and 7.3 rebounds. He also represented Germany in the 2024 FIBA U20 Eurobasket. Utah's coach Alex Jensen has leveraged his international connections to secure Anigbata, who is expected to play a significant role alongside fellow recruit Noam Yaacov. The Utes are preparing for the upcoming season with a roster that includes 15 players, with potential changes as the transfer window closes.
