Valley star Trevin Jirak flips commitment from UNI to Iowa basketball


IOWA CITY — West Des Moines Valley star and Northern Iowa signee Trevin Jirak has flipped his commitment to Iowa basketball, he announced Friday.

Jirak originally signed to play for Ben Jacobson at UNI in November but has changed course and will play for Ben McCollum’s Hawkeyes.

The 6-foot-11 center is the first class of 2025 high school prospect McCollum has landed since taking the job at Iowa.

Jirak helped Valley win three consecutive state titles, spanning from 2023 to 2025. As a senior, Jirak was named 2025 Iowa Mr. Basketball. He averaged 16.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 59.2% from the field. Jirak also showed the ability to stretch the floor as a senior, shooting 38.6% (17-of-44) from deep, which was a marked improvement from the previous two seasons.

He started all 26 games on a Valley team that went 23-3.

Valley beat Waukee Northwest to win the 4A state championship last season. Peyton McCollum, the son of Iowa head coach Ben McCollum, played for Waukee Northwest. Jirak notched 13 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in the win. Peyton McCollum had seven points and two assists.

Jirak becomes the first Iowa Mr. Basketball to attend the University of Iowa since 2023 winner Pryce Sandfort. After two seasons with the Hawkeyes, Sandfort recently transferred to Nebraska. Other Iowa Mr. Basketball honorees to play for the Hawkeyes include Joe Wieskamp, Jordan Bohannon, Peter Jok, Jarrod Uthoff and Matt Gatens.

Jirak was also named 2024-25 Iowa MaxPreps High School Basketball Player of the Year.

The high school star earned offers from South Dakota, Bryant, Tarleton State, North Dakota State, Drake and UNI before choosing the Panthers. Jirak’s offer from Drake came when McCollum was leading the Bulldogs. McCollum jumped back in on Jirak’s recruitment after taking the job at Iowa. Jirak did not turn down the opportunity to play for McCollum this time.Jirak is unranked by the 247Sports Composite and is currently the lone high school prospect publicly committed to Iowa’s 2025 recruiting class. The Hawkeyes previously had three committed under Fran McCaffery — Badara Diakite, Dezmon Briscoe and Joshua Lewis. But all three reopened their recruitments following McCaffery’s departure.Iowa is relying heavily on the transfer portal to rebuild its roster ahead of McCollum’s first season. But by bringing in Jirak, a high school prospect is now added to Iowa’s projected roster.Follow Tyler Tachman on X @Tyler_T15, contact via email at ttachman@gannett.com
