LOGAN, Utah – Utah State head men's basketball coach Ben Jacobson announced the signing of junior college guard Ace Reiser on Friday. Reiser will join the Aggies in 2026-27 as a sophomore, after beginning his college career with one season at College of Southern Idaho.

Reiser, a 6-foot 165-pound guard, was one of the top JuCo players in the nation last season, earning NJCAA All-American first team honors during his one season in Twin Falls. He helped lead the Golden Eagles to a 34-3 overall record and a run to the NJCAA Tournament national title game while averaging 14.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.4 steals per contest, ranking in the top 10 in the Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC) in each category. 

While starting all 37 games and averaging 36.4 minutes per outing, Reiser shot an efficient 49.6 percent (183-of-369) from the floor, 44.8 percent (73-of-163) from 3-point range and 78.2 percent (104-of-133) at the free throw line. He scored in double-figures 33 times and had five or more rebounds 23 times. Reiser was named the SWAC Player of the Week three times and NJCAA National Player of the Week once. He was the Region 18 Player of the Year and was named to the NJCAA National All-Tournament Team after averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game during the team's run to the national title game. 

Reiser, a native of South Jordan, Utah, prepped at Alta High School in Sandy, Utah, for two seasons, after beginning his career with two seasons at Bingham High School. He totaled 1,028 points, 278 rebounds, 409 assists and 149 steals in his prep career, earning 5A all-state first team recognition his junior and senior years, and 6A all-state honorable mention as a sophomore. The Hawks went a combined 48-8 during Reiser's time there, winning the state 5A tournament in 2023 and finishing as runners-up in 2024.

Before playing at CSI, Reiser served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to Ghana.
