Tyler Hendricks, the twin brother of Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks, is making a notable move by transferring to Utah Valley from UCF. During the previous season, Tyler played a limited role, averaging 3.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per game. His transition to UVU comes as the team seeks to rebound after a strong WAC regular-season finish but a disappointing exit in the conference championship.

Meanwhile, Taylor's promising career in the NBA was unfortunately interrupted by significant injuries early in the season. After being the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, he could only play three games before suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle.
