OGDEN J.J. Overton will trade in Wolverine green for Wildcat purple for his final season of college basketball.
The 6-foot-6, 190-pound senior from San Diego will graduate and transfer to Weber State for his final season of eligibility, a source confirmed to KSL.com. Overton s transfer was first reported by CBS Jon Rothstein.
Overton, who played two seasons at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California, tied for the lead in scoring (with teammate Trey Woodbury) for Utah Valley in 2020-21 when he averaged 15.6 points on 50.7% shooting. The senior whose father, Chuck, played two seasons at Salt Lake Community College also averaged 4.2 rebounds per game trailing only standout posts Evan Cole (6.4 rpg) and Fardaws Aimaq (15.0 rpg), the standout center who recently declared for the NBA draft but did not sign an agent so as to keep his collegiate eligibility.
