Lohner began his high school career with Flower Mound high school in Flower Mound, Texas. He averaged just four points per game as a freshman before posting 17.8 points per game as a sophomore in 2017-18.
He received offers from Baylor, BYU, Kansas State, TCU, Texas and Texas A&M.
This season, Utah has a very young roster with Marc Reninger as the only senior and junior college transfer Alfonso Plummer is the only junior. Larry Krystkowiak has four sophomores returning and will bring in 11 freshmen.
