When you think of BYU basketball, few names stand taller than Jimmer Fredette, the scoring phenom who lit up college hoops in the late 2000s and early 2010s with seemingly limitless range and unforgettable moments, from a record-setting 52-point night to leading the nation in scoring and earning consensus National Player of the Year honors, and on February 14, 2026, his iconic No. 32 jersey will rise into the rafters of the Marriott Center where his legacy will be etched forever in BYU history.
On a national stage, Jimmer Fredette changed how college basketball talked about scoring, range, and individual impact, turning late-night West Coast games into must-watch moments and putting BYU at the center of the sport’s conversation. His deep shooting rewrote expectations, his performances drew packed arenas and national broadcasts, and his name became shorthand for fearlessness and flair. For BYU, Jimmer’s run was more than points and accolades. It was belief, momentum, and a generation of fans who saw what was possible when preparation met confidence. That influence still echoes every time a shot goes up from well beyond the arc.
