Avery Hjelmstad brings shooting pop, size, and two-way upside to Utah
In the 2025-26 season, Utah guard Avery Hjelmstad showed flashes of a modern wing scorer: a 6-1 freshman who appeared in 31 games, averaged 5.3 points, and delivered multiple big shooting nights, including 22 points with five 3-pointers against Colorado State and a career-best eight rebounds at Houston. She was a four-star recruit ranked around No. 46-49 nationally, and scouts and previews consistently point to her as a strong shooter with defensive value. The fit is clear if you want a long, floor-spacing guard who can grow into more creation without needing the ball every trip.
