TJ wal commits to vandals

TJ Wal is heading to Moscow after signing with the Idaho Vandals, giving the program an exciting young piece for the future. Idaho officially announced Wal as its first spring signee for the 2026 class, and the Canadian prospect arrives with strong size and upside as the Vandals continue building for next season. Wal is listed by Canada Basketball at 6-foot-5 and is from Edmonton, Alberta.

Wal’s commitment gives Idaho a player who can bring versatility on the wing and another layer of talent to the roster. The Vandals are adding a prospect with a strong frame, room to grow, and the kind of international background that can often translate well at the college level. Idaho’s staff clearly sees him as a player who can develop into an important piece as the program reloads.

For Idaho, landing TJ Wal is a solid pickup at an important time. With roster movement always shaping college basketball, adding a young player with size and long term potential matters. Wal now steps into the Big Sky with a chance to make an impact, and Vandals fans will be watching closely to see how quickly he can turn this commitment into a real on court role.
