Micah Handlogten, the 6‑foot‑10 center who helped the Florida Gators capture the 2025 national championship, has signed an Exhibit 10 agreement with the Utah Jazz shortly after the 2026 NBA Draft.
A Family Connection Rekindled
His father, Ben Handlogten, wore a Jazz jersey from 2003 to 2005, giving the younger Handlogten a personal link to the organization before he even stepped onto an NBA court.
During his three‑year stint at Florida, Micah contributed to a historic run that culminated in the 2025 title. He overcame a season‑ending leg injury to appear in the championship game, finishing with two points, four rebounds, two assists and a block.
What an Exhibit 10 Means
The deal is a one‑year, non‑guaranteed minimum‑salary contract that permits the player to attend summer league training camp. While it does not assure a spot on the regular‑season roster, it provides a pathway to earn a contract through performance.
Handlogten’s defensive presence — averaging 0.8 blocks per game — and his rebounding instincts could appeal to a Jazz team looking to add depth and energy off the bench.
Looking Ahead
The organization will evaluate him during the upcoming summer league, where his recovery from the previous injury will be closely monitored. If he can demonstrate health and impact, the Exhibit 10 could transition into a fully guaranteed agreement.
