@KSLcom
! I’m beyond excited to advance to these ranks from being a student writer to now working for one of the best news companies in the country. I’ll continue to help at UVU Review as the copy editor for all the beats!
Breaking:
Utah State has received a commitment from Oregon transfer, C Isaac Johnson.
Johnson, 7’0”, is a former 4 star recruit and saw action in 14 games for the Ducks last season.
I want to thank all of you for the last year and a half of USU coverage. Due to some personal situations, I have to step away from USU effective as of this week.
I hope to return in the fall in hopes of excelling in sports writing with the Statesman.
Until then,
Go Aggies.
I think the support that USU MBB has gotten this season from the valley is awesome. It obviously is helping and they FEED off of that energy. Well done CV!
Utah State will face Memphis in the First Responder Bowl in Dallas, Texas.
The game is played on December 27th at Gerald J. Ford stadium at SMU’s stadium.
Neemias Queta finished with 23 points on 8/12 shooting (1-1 from 3!!!) 8 boards and 3 assists.
The Kings fell short in overtime, but Queta is putting his name out for a role on the young Kings squad.
So... The moment you've all been waiting for. I have been hired at Utah Valley University to be the Sports Editor for the Student Newspaper. I spent the last two years at Utah State with the Statesman as a Sports Writer and I recieved this promotion at Utah Valley.
It's worth mentioning the success of the first year head coaches at Utah State.
Manny Martins- Soccer finished 4th in the MWC
Blake Anderson- Football is 8-2 and currently leading the Mountain Division
Rob Neilson- Tied for first in the MWC after being predicted to finish 9th.
Former Utah State Aggie, Neemias Queta, had 6 points on 3/4 shooting, 2 blocks, and 2 rebounds in 8 minutes of play in the Kings 75-128 loss to the Celtics.
Utah State ends up being the only team from the state of Utah to win their bowl game.
Regardless, what a showing from the State of Utah this season.
31-10 record combined between the 3 main schools, all will end in the top 25
Star wideout Deven Thompkins announced on social media to that he is declining his last season and entered the NFL Draft.
Thompkins finished 2nd in the country in total receiving yards with 1,704 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Good luck DT!
About 1.5 years ago, I got told The MWC was closely monitoring the Pac 12 situation and were heavily pursuing Cal, WSU and Oregon State pending the Pac-12 demise as well as SMC and Gonzaga from the WCC.
I truly believe that to still be the case and will be pursued again.
Athletic Director John Hartwell announces that the practice facility in the HPER building at Utah State will be renamed the “Ray Corn practice facility.” This dedication is to honor Gymnastics coach Ray Corn who passed this August.
The Utah State University community is mourning the death of football student-athlete Andre Seldon Jr.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
I think Byron Vaughns is a NFL Draft guy whenever he goes.
His pro day/combine stats are going to be so incredible. Matched with his energy and passion, he will be a force at the next level.
The Texas transfer gets better every snap.
Aggie fans,
You already love Ike Larsen? You're about to love him even more this Monday when the story I'm writing about him comes out. Just a FANTASTIC kid. Works hard, and is so much more than just football. Stay tuned.

Since Spring Ball is open to public, here’s what I’ve noticed. *my opinion only*
Calvin Tyler 🔥
Levi Williams has an absolute cannon 💣
OL doing well during team drills 💪🏽
DL preforming in 1 on 1s 👀
1 on 1 WR/DB is the most exciting part of practice 💥
Fun atmosphere 👏🏽
Spoke with USU Guard Steven Ashworth today. I asked him what he wanted people to know about this team, he responded with “We’re ready. We’re humble and we’re ready.”
Deven Thompkins has cleared waivers and will return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Indication was that DT would get picked up, but in the end the Bucs get him back.
Boise State attendance vs USU in a meaningless 10am game the day after Thanksgiving: 31,402
Boise State attendance vs Fresno State in the Mountain West Championship: 24,307
A 7,095 difference.
The Aggies are going to pull out a win in San Fransisco! Arguably the best win of the season and the Aggies are 7-0.
3-0 in the WCC this season, 2-0 in road games.
Without revealing too much, Aggie fans. There's a reason why a certain softball recruit chose Utah State over Utah... you can read about it next Thursday the 27th 👀
