Top 25 Aggies of 2024 – #6 Blaine Spires | Sports
At the number six spot in Cache Valley Media Group’s Top 25 Aggies of 2024 is defensive end Blaine Spires. Spires flashed great potential as a disrupter and pass rusher with Utah State in 2023. It was his first season at USU after spending four at Bowling Green. Spires set new career highs in tackles for loss (8.5), sacks (5.0) and fumbles recovered (three, which also ranks T-9th in a single season in USU history). In what will be his final season of eligibility, Spires is primed to make a big impact in Nate Dreiling’s defensive scheme. 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.
