Solomon Callaghan could be the next Aggie 3-Point Ace — USU Newcomer Breakdown | Sports

Utah State hasn’t lacked for 3-point shooting in recent years. Nor will the Aggies lack outside shooting in the upcoming 2026-27 campaign. Even with that high floor, Wright State transfer Solomon Callaghan could very well become the next great 3-point shooting ace. The kind of player that excites the crowd with logo threes and nights where his hot hand brings the roof down. From his earlier days as a player, Callaghan has been a shooter and scorer. He averaged 21.7 points as a senior in high school and has taken his next-level shooting abilities to carve a path to joining a Pac-12 team. Let’s jump right into the details on someone who will be among the more impactful newcomers for the Aggies this season.

AJ Bates, a pick-and-roll master and crafty scorer who hasn’t even peaked yet — USU Newcomer Breakdown | Sports

Utah State lost all three of the point guards on its 2025-26 roster, leaving a gaping hole in that part of the rotation. Head coach Ben Jacobson has brought in a couple of players to help fill that. The first addition, and the presumed starter at point guard, is Louisiana Tech transfer Anthony “AJ” Bates. Bates grew up in the Houston area, attending Seven Lakes High School. He became a star there, and the school’s all-time leading scorer. But despite his career averages of 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists per game, he didn’t catch much high-major attention, ultimately opting to play for Louisiana Tech. In two years, he rose to an all-conference level player and has now moved up the college basketball ladder in coming to Utah State.  Biographical Info/Stats Height: 6’3″ Weight: 200 lbs Class: Junior (2 years of eligibility) Hometown: Houston, TX High School: Seven Lakes Previous College: Louisiana Tech AJ Bates Career Per-Game Averages Season Team GP / GS Points Rebounds Assists Steals Blocks FG% 3P% FT% 2024-25 Louisiana Tech 29 / 4 4.6 2.0 1.7 0.8 0.1 43.6 31.7 67.3 2025-26 Louisiana Tech 34 / 34 12.1 2.8 5.9 1.2 0.1 37.0 27.7 78.3 AJ Bates Advanced Metrics Stat Value Rank

Sean Felts has the whole scoring package of a rim-running stretch big — USU Newcomer Breakdown | Sports

Utah State’s second addition via the transfer portal marked the Aggies’ first foray into directly recruiting junior college players since 2023. Ben Jacobson also went local with this recruit, signing Crimson Cliffs graduate and Snow College center Sean Felts, who ranks 19th among junior college prospects according to jucorecruiting.com. The St. George native had previously noted he went to Snow College because of its proximity to his hometown, and while Logan is a little further up the road, being able to stay in-state and within drivable distance and play in the upper end of Division I was something Felts wasn’t exactly going to pass up. And neither would Jacobson pass up bringing in a center with more length than any of last year’s players could boast. Let’s get into the details on the newest center on Utah State’s roster. Biographical Info/Stats Height: 6’11” (6’11” wingspan) Weight: 220 lbs Class: Junior (2 years of eligibility) Hometown: St. George, UT High School: Crimson Cliffs Previous College: Snow College Sean Felts Career Per-Game Averages Season Team GP / GS Points Rebounds Assists Steals Blocks FG% 3P% FT% 2024-25 Snow College 32 / 10 5.1 3.6 0.6 0.4 0.8 61.2% 0 / 2 63.6% 2025-26 Snow College 33 / 21
