The first commitment for Utah State men’s basketball in the 2026 transfer window is one many saw coming. Northern Iowa forward Will Hornseth is following his head coach to Logan, continuing his career under Ben Jacobson. Hornseth is entering his junior year, a time in which players can make a big jump thanks to added experience. Though it wouldn’t be a jump from obscurity to a rotation spot. Hornseth already has a record of solid production and impact for an NCAA Tournament team. ✍️ 𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓮𝓭Welcome to the @USUBasketball family @will_hornseth!➡️ https://t.co/YBevvNUbRZ pic.twitter.com/GzRuFqcpdI — USU Men’s Hoops (@USUBasketball) April 10, 2026 A native of Wisconsin, right in Jacobson’s recruiting backyard, Hornseth was a natural pickup. He excelled in high school, scoring north of 1,400 points with more than 500 rebounds and 130 blocks in career which also included two First Team All-State selections. At UNI, Hornseth played right away, coming off the bench in year one for an average of 14.2 minutes per game before moving to a full-time starter in year two. He was named to the Missouri Valley Most Improved Team for the strides he took from his freshman to sophomore season. Biographical Info/Stats Height: 6’8″ Weight: 235 lbs
