IRVINE, Calif. – Head men's basketball coach Russell Turner announced the signing of Gavin Lowe.

Lowe, a 5-11 guard from Holladay, Utah, hails from Olympus High School where he was a two-time 5A state champion. In the 2025 championship run, Lowe had a career-best 31 points in the quarterfinals then dropped 35 in the championship game versus Highland. He was honored as Utah's 2025 Mr. Basketball as well as MaxPreps Player of the Year. Lowe averaged 22.0 points, 5.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds as a junior. He shot 49.1 percent from the floor, including 32.2 percent from three and 83.1 percent from the free throw line.  Lowe played for the Utah Mountain Stars.

"We are excited to add Gavin to our basketball team," Turner said. "The immediate things that stuck out to us about him was the ability to win on multiple different stages. Whether that was going back-to-back as state champions with his high school or elevating his AAU team – Gavin has won at a high level everywhere he's been. Gavin also brings skill, athleticism, and fiery competitiveness to our team that we value greatly. He comes from a strong family foundation and has benefited from excellent coaching at both the high school and AAU levels, which has prepared him for his transition to becoming an Anteater."
