Rob Whaley Jr. is a senior forward from Farmington, Utah, whose path to Kent State runs through junior college and the Mountain West Conference. His father, Rob Whaley Sr., was selected 51st overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz. Whaley Jr. prepped at Bountiful High School, earning First Team All-Region three straight years and First Team All-State in 2021, before spending two seasons at the College of Southern Idaho — where he ranked among the top-10 JUCO prospects nationally as a sophomore. He then played at UNLV, recording a career-high 21 points on 8-of-8 shooting against Princeton in the 2024 NIT, before a back injury limited him in his second season with the Runnin' Rebels. His cousin, Delrecco Gillespie, convinced him to transfer to Kent State for 2025-26.
