Utah head men's basketball coach Craig Smith announced the addition of San Francisco transfer Mike Sharavjamts (SHAR-iv-jomps) for the upcoming season.

He becomes the sixth player to transfer into the Runnin' Utes program this offseason, joining Keanu Dawes, Mason Madsen, Zach Keller, Miro Little and Ezra Ausar.

"We are thrilled to welcome Mike to the University of Utah men's basketball program," Smith said. "He has exceptional length and a versatile skillset that allows him to make an impact anywhere on the court. Mike is a dynamic and intelligent player with a bright future ahead of him. We can't wait to see what he will accomplish with us here at the University of Utah."

Sharavjamts comes to Salt Lake City after spending his sophomore season (2023-24) at San Francisco where he saw action in all 34 games and averaged 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists to go with 32 steals and 15 blocks. He recorded a career-high 18 points against Seattle U at home after going a perfect 4-for-4 from the field for 10 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in his debut at USF. The 6-8 guard helped the Dons advance to the semifinals of the WCC Tournament before earning an NIT bid this past year.

The Mongolian native played his freshman season at Dayton (2022-23) where he was just the second true freshman to start in a season-opener for Dayton in the last 10 years since DaRon Holmes. During his time with the Flyers, he suited up in 32-of-34 games and started in 20 of those games while averaging 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

He made his collegiate debut against Lindenwood in the opener, scoring 10 points with 3 rebounds, 5 assists and zero turnovers. His season-high in points that year came against BYU where he scored 15 points in the Battle 4 Atlantis. He dished out a career-high 8 assists as a freshman three different times. The dynamic guard would enter his name into the draft at the end of his freshman season before withdrawing from the draft and transferring to USF.

Sharavjamts was a unanimous four-star recruit according to the major recruiting websites at the prep level. He played his senior season at the International Sports Academy where he shot a .512 clip from 3-point range and averaged 10.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 24 games.

He would go on to play as a member of the World Team in the 2022 Nike Hoop Summit. He also captained the Mongolian U18 team that finished sixth in the 2019 World 3x3 Championships – which happened to be hosted in his hometown of Ulaanbaatar.

Sharavjamts' father Sharavjamts Tserenjankhar, a 7-footer known as The Mongolian Shark became the first Asian Harlem Globetrotter when he signed with the team in 2001.
