Football: Aggies Sign Four Juco Stars
Wednesday was the early signing day for junior college recruits moving on to Division I football programs, but Utah State is the only local school that has announced its signings so far.
That's probably because Utah and BYU are busy preparing for bowl games and Southern Utah has been busy searching for a new head coach. The Thunderbirds announced earlier today that Ed Lamb, an assistant at the University of San Diego, is their new head man.
As for the Aggies, they announced four signings, including Casey Davis, a former Riverton High star who just concluded his eligibility at Snow College in Ephraim.
A 6-foot-3, 285-pound defensive lineman, Davis was a first-team all-conference pick for the Badgers. He had 49 tackles (19 for loss) and four sacks.
At Riverton High, Davis earned first-team all-region honors as a junior.
Utah State coach Brent Guy said he expects to sign several more mid-year transfers before classes start in January.
The Aggies also signed Jeremy Mitchell and Sevaro Johnson, teammates at Laney College in Oakland, Calif. Mitchell, from Benicia, Calif., is a 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end and Johnson, from Oakley, Calif., is a 293-pound defensive tackle.
Johnson is a former high school teammate of current USU player Diondre Borel.
Also signing with the Aggies on Wednesday was Chris Williams, a 190-pound safety from El Camino College in Torrance, Calif.
-----------------------------------------
The Aggies have also offered a scholarship to Aiona Key, a receiver from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif. However, it appears Key will sign with either Utah or Oregon (see previous posts).
High school players that Utah State is targeting:
* Chris Awambu, a lineman from Oakland, Calif.
* Zach Brackus, a lineman from Murray High
* Chris Snyder, a lineman from Aurora, Colo.
* Jack Reynoso, a defensive lineman from Loomis, Calif.
* Jamarcus Williams, a lineman from Mountain View, Calif.
* Jordan Gross, a lineman from Long Beach, Calif.
* Ryan Kuehl, a defensive back from Las Vegas
* Sheldon Armstrong, a defensive back from Long Beach, Calif.

The Aggies better recruit and land a couple more QBs to replace Riley Nelson who has told his former Logan HS coaches and his family that he will be going to BYU after his mission.
I heard it from Coach Anderson's own lips. I know, it doesn't make much sense for him, a potential D1 starter at QB, to bolt and probably have to walk on and switch positions at BYU.
Just relaying (and gloating) what I heard this Spring.
