Last offseason was an adventure in the transfer portal for Utah State. This year there’s optimism that fewer players will depart and several players have been forthcoming in saying they will return to play for the Aggies. Still, there are many who will choose to depart, and some have no choice, having run out of eligibility.

This year’s edition of the tracker will monitor the players that will graduate, retire, or transfer along with incoming Division I and Junior College transfers. This will be updated as more players announce their intentions.

  • Graduating — 11




  • Outgoing Transfers — 2




  • Incoming D1 Transfers — 4




  • Incoming Junior College — 3




  • Confirmed Returning — 4




  • TOTAL OUTGOING — 13




  • TOTAL INCOMING — 7
