Colorado men’s basketball transfer Lawson Lovering lands at Utah

Lawson Lovering has found a new home within the Pac-12

Lawson Lovering needed little time to find a new home.

Just four days after entering the transfer portal, the former Colorado men’s basketball center announced on Saturday his commitment to Utah, meaning he’ll get an opportunity to face the Buffs next season.

Lovering was a four-star recruit coming out of Cheyenne Central High School but struggled on offense during his two years in Boulder.

Junior Nique Clifford and redshirt freshman Quincy Allen have also entered the transfer portal but have yet to commit elsewhere.

With Lovering, Utah has now found its replacement for two-time All-Pac-12 center Branden Carlson, who on Thursday declared for the NBA draft — although he can still return and use his final year of college eligibility if he decides to.
