The day-by-day reveal of the Cache Valley Media Group Top 25 Aggies of 2024 continues with today’s unveiling of the number 18 player for the upcoming football season — defensive end Cian Slone!
Slone joined the Aggies in 2023, transferring from American River College and made an immediate impact with the Aggies. He appeared in all 13 of Utah State’s games and ranked fifth on the team in tackles for loss with 6.5. He also had two sacks and a fumble recovery.
He’ll be one of the players looking to make a big jump as the USU defense looks to flip the script from its 2023 showing and become a strength of the team under interim head coach Nate Dreiling.
The Top 25 Aggies is based on a vote from members of Utah State media including Jason Walker, Eric Frandsen, Craig Hislop and Ajay Salvesen. A public fan poll was also used with its results being used as a fifth ballot. The full list of 25 players will be revealed one at a time each weekday on the Full Court Press (106.9 FM, 1390 AM) at 4:25 p.m. from July 22 until August 26.
