CEDAR CITY, Utah - The Southern Utah men's basketball team and head coach Todd Simon have announced the signing of Parsa Fallah as the latest addition to the 2021-22 roster.

"Parsa is a fantastic player that has proven himself on the international stage with Iran. His ability to play inside and out, rebound, and make plays for his teammates are going to help our program," Simon said. "Last month he was clearly one of the best at the U19 World Cup and we could not be more excited to continue his development here."
