WACO, Texas – Baylor men's basketball has signed transfer forward Caleb Lohner to a Financial Aid Contract, head coach Scott Drew announced Monday.
Â
Lohner, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward, has played the last two seasons for BYU, competing in the West Coast Conference, where he averaged 7.0 points and 6.7 rebounds in two seasons with the Cougars.
Â
"We've known Caleb and his family since he was a sophomore in high school," Drew said. "We have always known he would be a great fit in our program because of the type of teammate and player he is. He's an outstanding student-athlete that our fans are really going to enjoy cheering for."
Â
A Dallas, Texas native, Lohner played in 27 games with 13 starts as a freshman in 2020-21, where he averaged 7.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks while shooting a career-best 33 percent from three-point-range in 23.8 minutes per game. As a sophomore, he played in 35 games with 31 starts, finishing second on the team with 6.4 rebounds a game to go along with 7.0 points per contest.
Â
The Cougars amassed a 44-18 record during Lohner's two years in Provo, going 24-11 (9-6) in 2022, including a trip to the quarterfinals of the NIT, where the sophomore chipped in nine points to go along with season highs in rebounds (11) and assists (5) in a 77-58 loss to Washington State. He recorded nine double-figure scoring efforts, highlighted by a career-high 20 against Long Beach State in the opening round of the NIT. He led the team in rebounding 13 times on the year, including six of his seven double-digit rebounding performances, highlighted by a career-high 14 against South Florida.
Â
As a freshman, Lohner and the Cougars went 20-7 (10-3) en route to the NCAA Tournament, where UCLA upended them. In that game, the freshman scored six points and had a team-leading 10 rebounds. On the season, Lohner led the team in rebounds with 7.1 per contest while finishing fourth in scoring (7.0 ppg) with a high-water mark of 19 against Pacific.
Â
Before arriving at BYU, Lohner played at Wasatch Academy in Utah from 2018-20, where he helped lead the Tigers to a 27-2 record and averaged 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals as a senior. During his junior campaign, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists and helped Wasatch to a 26-3 record with a bid to the GEICO High School Nationals. Lohner played his freshman and sophomore seasons for Flower Mound High School in Flower Mound, Texas.
