Jarrod Reed Uthoff (born May 19, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played three seasons of college basketball for Iowa.
Uthoff starred at Jefferson High School in Cedar Rapids, earning Iowa Mr. Basketball honors as the top high school player in the state as a senior in 2011.
Uthoff committed to the University of Wisconsin, where he sat out the 2011–12 season as a redshirt. He played briefly in the 2012–13 season for the Badgers before abruptly deciding to transfer mid-season. His case received national press as Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan originally barred the player from transferring to 26 different schools. After heavy public scrutiny, Ryan reduced his restrictions to only cover the Big Ten Conference. Uthoff ultimately chose Iowa, a Big Ten school, opting to pay his own way in the 2012–13 season as he sat out the year as a transfer per NCAA regulations.
Uthoff finally took the court for the Hawkeyes in 2013–14 season as a redshirt sophomore. He was a key player off the bench for the team, averaging 7.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. With graduation losses the following season, he entered the starting lineup. As a junior, he averaged 12.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as a complement to senior forward Aaron White. At the close of the year, Uthoff was named third-team All-Big Ten.
Leading up to his senior season, Uthoff was named to the preseason All-Big Ten team. With the departure of Aaron White, Uthoff stepped into the role of the Hawkeyes' top scoring option. He was named to the 35-man midseason watchlist for the Naismith Trophy on February 11. Over his three-year career, he averaged 13.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 100 games. He finished his collegiate career ranked 19th all-time in Hawkeyes scoring (1,298 points), fourth in blocked shots (177) and 10th in three-pointers made (137).
