LOGAN, Utah – Utah State head men's basketball coach Ryan Odom has announced the signing of Norbert Thelissen, set to join the Aggies for the upcoming 2021-22 season.

"We are extremely excited about the addition of Norbert to our program," Odom said. "Norbert is a versatile forward with major potential and his game fits our style of play."

Thelissen initially signed with the University of Utah a season ago with the intention of arriving in Salt Lake City for the 2021-22 season. He will now head north to Logan and have three years of eligibility after playing with Heroes Den Bosch in the Dutch professional leagues. Thelissen played in 19 games for Heroes in both the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.

Thelissen represented The Netherlands at the Division B FIBA U20 European Championships in Portugal during the summer of 2019, averaging 11.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Thelissen logged a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds against Armenia in the final game of the group stage and scored in double figures in four games, including a 20-point effort against Iceland on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor. Overall, Thelissen shot 58.9 percent (33-of-56) from the floor over the eight games, including 40.0 percent (10-of-25) from behind the 3-point line.
