LOGAN, Utah – Utah State senior forward Justin Bean has been named second-team all-Mountain West for the second year in a row in addition to being named to the MW all-defensive team by the league coaches. Fellow senior forward Brandon Horvath also earned post-season honors as he was named to the all-MW third team. Bean has been recognized with all-MW honors in each of the last three seasons as he was a third-team selection in 2020 and a second-team pick in 2021. He is the third-straight Aggie to earn honors in three-straight years, joining Neemias Queta and Sam Merrill with that distinction. Since joining the MW, Jalen Moore is the only other player for Utah State with three all-MW honors. Bean leads the MW with 19 double-doubles this season, good for second all-time in USU single-season history, to rank seventh in the nation. Bean also leads the league in rebounds per game (9.8) and defensive rebounds per game (7.32). He needs just six more boards to tally 1,000 in his career, becoming only the second player ever in MW history and third in USU history to surpass that benchmark. Bean leads the Aggies in scoring, rebounding and steals this season,
