OREM – In an exciting development for Utah Valley University’s men’s basketball team, head coach Todd Phillips has announced the signing of forward Isaac Davis, a promising 6-foot-8 talent who previously played at Utah State. Davis, a standout high school athlete from Hillcrest High School in Idaho Falls, Idaho, is expected to make a significant impact this upcoming season.
Coach Phillips expressed enthusiasm about the addition, praising Davis’s physicality and athleticism. "Isaac is going to be a problem down low with his combination of size and quickness. He was part of a high-level program last year and is ready for his time to shine,” Phillips said.

In his senior season, he averaged 16.1 points and 7.9 rebounds, culminating in a strong performance during the state finals with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
Davis was recognized as the Post Register All-Area Player of the Year during his junior and senior years and earned all-state honors throughout his high school career. His exceptional skills both offensively and defensively position him as a valuable asset to UVU’s basketball program as they aim for continued success in the competitive landscape of collegiate sports.
