LOGAN, Utah — Working through Team IMPACT, Utah State football welcomed a new team member at today’s practice in 5-year-old Simon Hveem (pronounced veem). “We are incredibly excited to welcome Simon as our newest Aggie commit and the entire Hveem Family into the Utah State football program,” said interim head coach Nate Dreiling. “Team IMPACT provides an opportunity to allow kids like Simon to gain an entire team to help in their fight with cancer, and we couldn’t be prouder to be a part of his journey. While we will strive to make it amazing for Simon, we can’t discount the enormous impact he will have on our student-athletes and program. We are excited to welcome Simon and his family with open arms and look forward to Aggie Nation doing the same!” Simon lives with his parents, Rachel and Joshua, and three siblings in Wellsville, Utah, and was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this year and has been undergoing chemotherapy since. On Wednesday, Simon was introduced to the team and was given his own jersey during the post-practice huddle. Simon will continue to be a part of the Utah State football team, including participating in the team’s national signing day in December.
