On Tuesday afternoon, Alex Jensen and the Utah Utes lost a key player to the transfer portal with junior guard Mike Sharavjamts electing to go portaling.
Sharavjamts, a 6-foot-9 guard from Mongolia, committed to Utah, which made the program his third stop in as many years after spending time with Dayton and San Francisco.
The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, who noted, “Utah junior Mike Sharavjamts is entering the transfer portal, his agent Scott Nichols of Rize Management told ESPN. 6-foot-9 PG averaged 7.4 points and 2.8 assists this season. Started his college career at Dayton, where he earned all-rookie honors.”
In his third season of college basketball, Sharavjamts posted 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists on 40.6% shooting from the field. He saw action in 33 games for the Utes, averaging 22.4 minutes per night.
Coming out of Andrews Osborne Academy in the Class of 2022, Sharavjamts was listed as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports index and the nation’s 93rd-ranked player. He also checked in as the 22nd-ranked player at his position and the top-ranked player in the state of Ohio.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, March 24, 2025.
