College career

[edit | edit source]

Toolson, a shooting guard from Highland High School in Gilbert, Arizona, committed to play college basketball for Brigham Young University (BYU).[2][3] In his sophomore season for the Cougars, Toolson appeared in 10 games and averaged 3.9 points per game before taking a medical leave and ending his season.[4] Following his shortened sophomore season, Toolson decided to transfer to Utah Valley to play for former BYU assistant Mark Pope.[5]

After sitting out the 2016–17 season as a transfer, Toolson found immediate playing time for the Wolverines. He started every game and averaged 10.9 points per game, shooting 45% from the floor in his redshirt sophomore season.[6] As a senior, he averaged 15.8 points per game. At the close of the season, Toolson was named first-team All-Western Athletic Conference and the WAC Player of the Year. He was the first UVU player to receive this award.[7]

On May 24, 2019, Toolson announced he would transfer back to BYU as a graduate transfer for his senior year, reuniting with his UVU coach who had been hired to coach the Cougars.[8] Toolson scored a career-high 28 points and had six three-pointers on January 24, 2020, in a 74–60 win over Pacific.[9] On February 22, 2020, Toolson scored 17 points in a 91–78 upset of second-ranked Gonzaga.[10] At the conclusion of the regular season, Toolson was named to the First Team All-West Coast Conference as well as Newcomer of the Year.[11] Toolson averaged 15.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game while shooting 47% from the floor as a senior.[12]

Professional career

[edit | edit source]

After going undrafted in the 2020 NBA draft, Toolson signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Utah Jazz.[13] He was waived at the conclusion of training camp[14] and then assigned to the Jazz's NBA G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.[15] On February 14, 2021, he suffered a season-ending injury and was subsequently waived after one game.[16]

On June 4, 2021, Toolson signed with BG Göttingen of the German easyCredit BBL.[17]
