The Aggies are working to “bring out the greatness” in McCae Hillstead | Sports

Even amidst some of Utah State’s struggles to step beyond the boundaries of going 6-6 every regular season, one thing the Aggies haven’t been lacking in is producing points on offense. The team has ranked inside the top 40 in points per game four times in the last five seasons, including three straight. They’ve done this despite going through four different offensive coordinators and three head coaches in that same span. Robert Anae is next in line to lead the Utah State offense. He owns 18 years of experience as an offensive coordinator, including 15 as the OC for Bronco Mendenhall at both BYU and Virginia. Anae spoke with the hosts of the Full Court Press on 106.9 The FAN on Monday and discussed the Aggies’ offense and the players who will contribute to the unit for the 2026 season. Utah State stands somewhat unique in its quarterback battle in that it’s the only Pac-12 school to have a named starter that wasn’t the team’s starter last season. Boise State, Texas State and San Diego State each returned their respective QB1’s, and those players are anticipated to reprise their roles. But none of the teams that lost their starters to

Utah State’s Logan Hammer finishes as national runner-up in Pole Vault | Sports

EUGENE, Oregon – Senior Logan Hammer concluded his illustrious Utah State track and field career as the national runner-up in the pole vault on Day 1 of the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Hammer, a native of Nampa, Idaho, broke his own school record by clearing 18 feet, 10.25 inches (5.75m) on his first attempt to earn first-team All-American honors. Hammer is only the sixth Aggie man or woman in program history to become a five-time All-American. Hammer’s finish is the best by an Aggie since James Parker was the national runner-up in the hammer in 2001 and Corey Murdock, who was the national runner-up in the 400m hurdles in 1999. USU’s last national champion was Mark Enyeart in the 800 meters in 1977. “It was a really special day for him and for (coach) Erik (Rasmussen) and for his family,” said Artie Gulden, USU’s director of track & field and cross country. “Yeah, to vault higher than you’ve ever vaulted at the NCAA championships is a special thing. Not only did he break his own school record, but he broke his own Mountain West record as well. He put himself in great position and his jumps at 5.70

Utah State defense aims at building off 2025 for better 2026 | Sports

Amidst a whiplash-inducing 2025 Utah State football campaign, the Aggies’ defense provided one of the wildest swings from struggles to success. And as the program heads into its 2026 season, finding a way to build on the good stuff while sanding down the splinter-inflicting rough edges is a crucial step forward. Utah State’s defensive coordinator Nick Howell joined the Full Court Press on 106.9 FM The FAN to discuss the Aggies’ defense, to look ahead to the 2026 season, and offer a few insights on the 2025 defense. One of the biggest was how the team simply wasn’t where it needed to be in the first half of last season. “We didn’t have our identity exactly how we wanted it based upon a number of factors,” Howell said. “We weren’t able to play the way that we wanted to play.” Utah State’s defense took a fair amount of lumps in the first few weeks of the season. Holding UTEP to 16 points in the season opener was OK, but then the Aggies’ defense got waxed by Texas A&M (44 points allowed) and Vanderbilt (30 points allowed). Through the first six games of the season, the Aggies gave up an average
