ANCHORAGE – Another talented transfer has joined the Alaska Anchorage men's basketball program as head coach Rusty Osborne announced Tuesday that Jack Chlumak has signed a scholarship agreement to play for the Seawolves.

A 6-5, 200-pound wing, Chlumak comes north after two seasons at junior-college program Central Wyoming, where he appeared in 38 career games. In 2021-22, he averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 49 percent from the field, 46 percent on three-pointers and 73 percent on free throws. Included among his 14 double-figure scoring efforts were 24 points on 11-of-18 shooting against Southern Nevada and 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting against Laramie County.

"We are very excited to welcome Jack into Seawolf Nation," Osborne said. "He is another talented and versatile wing player who can play multiple positions for us. He is an excellent shooter, but is also a very good playmaker with court vision and a high basketball IQ. Defensively, he gives us another bigger body to go against the bigger wings in our conference. He has been well coached in both high school and in junior college, and should transition easily into our program and the GNAC. With three years remaining, he also adds balance to our recruiting classes."

Originally from Newberg, Ore., Chlumak started six of 17 games as a true freshman for Central Wyoming in the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign, posting 5.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

As a high school senior in 2019-20, he led Lake Oswego High School to an 18-8 overall record and an Oregon 6A State Tournament berth, along with a 12-0 mark in the Three Rivers League, averaging 13.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Chlumak – who will have three years of eligibility with the Seawolves – joins fellow transfers Dathan Satchell (6-3, G, Tracy, Calif./Modesto Christian HS/Casper [Wyo.] College/Las Positas College), Sawyer Storms (6-7, F, Idaho Falls, Idaho/IFHS/Chaminade), Lachlan Viney (6-2, G, Melbourne, Australia/Hawaii Pacific) and Jaron Williams (6-4, G, East Anchorage HS/Spokane [Wash.] CC) as the fifth member of UAA's 2022 recruiting class.
