LOGAN, Utah-Wednesday night, on the heels of a successful Pro Day for many NFL prospects for departing players, Utah State football conducted its annual banquet.
The 11-2 Aggies ended the season ranked for only the fourth time in program history in the coaches’ poll and only the third time in school history in The Associated Press poll.
This was also a squad that set 36 school records and tied six others during the season’s run.
Among the more prominent records were a 10-game winning streak and a Mountain West Conference record for points with 618.
Quarterback Jordan Love (396-652, 5,198 yards, 40 TD’s/12 INT’s) was named as the team’s MVP and will return for his junior season in 2019 at Logan.
Center Quin Ficklin was named as the offensive MVP and linebacker David Woodward was named as the defensive MVP.
The special teams MVP was kick returner Savon Scarver (22 returns, 742 yards, 3 TD’s) and the recipient of the Iron Aggie Award was tailback Darwin Thompson. He posted a team-best 28 reps on the bench press during Wednesday’s Pro Day.
Receiver Arren Vaughns (who ran a team-best 4.43 40-yard dash at Pro Day) was named as the Most Improved Offensive Player and the Most Improved Defensive Player was DJ Williams.
Linebacker Jontrell Rocquemore (who had a team-best 39’1″ vertical leap during Pro Day) was named as the comeback player of the year and receiver Sam Lockett was the scout team offensive MVP. The defensive scout team MVP was Maika Magalei.
The Aggies commence the 2019 regular season August 30 at Winston-Salem, N.C. against the ACC’s Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
