2026-27 OUTLOOK
WILL HORNSETH
Will Hornseth is a transfer from the University of Northern Iowa who will enter the 2026-27 season as a junior with three years of eligibility remaining due to the NCAA 5-years-to-play-5 ruling.
As a sophomore with the Panthers last season, Hornseth played in 35 games with 35 starts and averaged 11.1 points per game while shooting 60.1 percent from the floor, 44.4 percent from behind the 3-point line and he shot 52.7 percent at the free-throw line. He averaged 4.6 boards, 2.2 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.6 blocks.
During his 2-year career at the University of Northern Iowa, Hornseth has played in 68 games with 36 starts and averaged 8.2 points per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the floor, 36.4 percent from behind the 3-point line and he shot 53.4 percent at the free-throw line. He averaged 3.5 boards, 1.6 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.5 blocks.
When Hornseth entered the transfer portal, he wanted to follow Coach Ben Jacobson to Logan, so Utah State was his destination immediately. He originally held offers from Illinois State, Northern Iowa, Saint Thomas (MN), Toledo, and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
In a nutshell, Hornseth is an ultra-efficient, high-IQ frontcourt player. Unlike many of his teammates, he prefers to do his damage on the offensive end from inside the three-point line. He will usually begin by flashing into the paint to try and pin down his opposing defender so he can go to work in the post. He uses his solid footwork to work around the rim to try and back his defender down. Once he has his desired position, he has a surprisingly quick baseline spin or a floater in the lane that has deadly accuracy. His soft touch around the rim connects on an outrageously high percentage of his shots, making him one of the most efficient shooters in the country. He also functions as a frontline facilitator in the pick-and-roll game. He possesses excellent feel and vision for the game. He is going to make good decisions and solid passes. He must be accounted for as an intelligent passer as well as a short-range catch-and-shoot option. He is best described as a scrappy defensive player. He has a high basketball IQ and good positional awareness. He tracks rotations well and uses his strength to force opposing players into tough spots and plays with discipline. He has a solid, thick frame profile that allows him to absorb contact and play a physical brand of defense in the paint. His hustle and effort show his commitment to defense.
KARSON TEMPLIN
Senior Karson Templin has emerged as a team leader and fan favorite and will be a big factor in the Aggies’ success this season. Thanks to the NCAA’s 5-years-to-play-5 ruling, he will receive an extra season of eligibility next year as a graduate player.
As a junior last season, Templin played in 36 games with 8 starts and averaged 8.8 points per game while shooting 50.2 percent from the floor, 32.8 percent from behind the 3-point line and 65.5 percent at the free-throw line. He averaged 4.2 boards, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks.
During his 3-year career with the Aggies, Templin has played in 93 games with 11 starts and averaged 6.7 points per game while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor, 31.0 percent from behind the 3-point line and he shot 62.7 percent at the free-throw line. He averaged 3.9 boards, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks.
According to 247sports, coming out of Lovejoy High School (TX), Templin was rated as the 71st-best power forward nationally and the 31st-best prospect overall in Texas. Templin chose the Aggies over offers from Abilene Christian, Angelo State, Bucknell, Incarnate Word, Indiana State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Lipscomb, Maryland-Baltimore County, Oral Roberts, Sam Houston State, San Jose State, Toledo, UNLV, and Utah Valley.
Templin relishes coming off the bench and providing the Aggies with an instant boost of energy and production on both ends of the floor. He thrives on the energy of the crowd. He can put the ball on the floor and knock down a pull-up jumper, or take the ball strong to the hoop and use his strong frame to finish with a dunk or by absorbing contact and creating an and-one opportunity. He has shown that he can consistently hit the 3-ball, forcing opposing defenders to play him honestly and adding an extra dimension to the offense by spreading the floor. He is a rare combination of strength in the post and finesse out on the perimeter. He possesses high-end mobility for his size, routinely beating opposing bigs down the court for easy transition buckets. One of the first things that jumps out about him is his physical nature. He does not back down and rarely gives up any ground in the post. He already knows how to use his size and length to his advantage on the defensive end of the floor and is proving to be a sound rebounder. He hunts offensive rebounds for second-chance points. His aggressiveness and grit often go unmatched by opponents. He is the ultimate team player and will do anything asked of him, and will gladly give up his body for a loose ball anywhere near him. He is one of the emotional leaders of this team and the “Deputy Mayor” of Logan.
BRON ROBERTS
Bron Roberts is a transfer from Snow Junior College who will enter the 2026-27 season as a sophomore and with four years of eligibility remaining due to the NCAA 5-years-to-play-5 ruling.
As a true freshman with the Badgers last season, Roberts played in 16 games with 8 starts and averaged 7.3 points per game while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor, 40.0 percent from behind the 3-point line and he shot 53.6 percent at the free-throw line. He averaged 4.2 boards, 0.6 assists, and 0.5 steals. His season was cut short by a knee injury.
During his 4-year high school career at Pleasant Grove High School (UT) and Timpanogos High School (UT), Roberts played in 64 games with 62 starts and averaged 11.0 points per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor, 32.2 percent from behind the 3-point line and 70.2 percent at the free-throw line. He averaged 5.9 boards, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks.
According to On3 Sports, coming out of Pleasant Grove High (UT), Roberts was rated as the 166th-best player nationally, the 23rd-best shooting center, and the 3rd-best prospect overall in Utah. Roberts chose the Aggies over offers from Bowling Green, Long Beach State, Oakland (MI), Southern Mississippi, Southern Utah, Tennessee-Martin, Texas-San Antonio, and Utah Valley. He originally held offers from Southern Utah and Stanford.
Roberts is just getting started and isn’t even scratching the surface of what he could be down the road. He has a wiry frame and runs the court like a guard. He has exceptional shooting mechanics for a 7-footer. He has nice follow-through and a shot with few hitches, which isn’t expected from a player his size. He has a quick release to get his shot off under pressure. He has the athletic ability and height advantage to pull up and rise and fire from pretty much any spot on the floor. He has good size, length, and a soft touch that already extends beyond the three-point line. His ability to stretch the floor at the forward position will give opposing defenses fits. Historically, he shoots free throws at a high percentage. He has unexpected perimeter mobility, and he handles the ball surprisingly well for his height, which allows him to attack closeouts, drive to the hoop against slower defenders, and create mismatches. His athleticism allows him to finish drives well above the rim. He can be a good rebounder when he is challenged to do so. Versatile Lateral Quickness: Unlike traditional plodding centers, Roberts has the versatility, lateral quickness, footwork, and mobility to switch onto smaller perimeter defenders. His length makes him a natural shot-altering presence in the paint. The way the Aggies play mostly a five-out offense, he seems like an ideal fit for Coach Jacobson’s scheme.
