by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Dalton Baker has had Type 1 diabetes since he was 13 years old. Utah State’s senior defensive end was officially diagnosed on April 17, 2010, but that hasn’t prevented him from living the life he wants, and doing the things he wants, like playing football. When Baker turned 18 during his senior year at Payson (Utah) High School, he got ink on his right arm signifying he was Type 1 diabetic. “I designed it,” Baker said. “As with all my tats, I think of them and design them free-hand. It was something I did not want to hide from, but be proud that I am Type 1, and set the standard for others to see everything is still possible.” Living with Type 1 diabetes is not easy. There are a litany of tasks people must do, including check blood sugar, adjust insulin pump and watch what you eat. Fortunately for Baker, he doesn’t have to travel this road alone. That’s because his wife, Lindsey (Jensen) Baker, a member of the women’s basketball team at Utah State, was diagnosed a Type 1 diabetic on Nov. 26, 2015. “The day I found out I was diabetic was a real eye opener,” Lindsey said. “That was the last thing I thought I would have been diagnosed with my freshman year. I had no idea what I was doing, and nobody in my family has it, but Dalton was such a huge help and changed my life for sure. “I would be on the road with my basketball team and would send him a picture of my plate of food and ask how much insulin I needed to take. He was always so positive and kept me from thinking of diabetes as a negative, but a positive thing both of us could share. It brought us so close and it was just another way that we were able to take care of each other. It really was a blessing.” Dalton said it wasn’t easy on his wife – they have been married a little over a year now – at first, but he has supported her every step of the way. “The first year or so, she was kind of like, ‘Why me?’ and was upset about things,” Dalton said. “But, I was always there to help her. I was diagnosed in seventh grade and went through junior high and high school with it, and then the whole recruiting process, but I never let that give me a reason to think I couldn’t do something I wanted to do. It is perfectly livable, and perfectly doable.

“Just being able to work off each other and hold each other accountable is really good, because we’re both very hard-nosed and stubborn with each other, so it’s good. We are really good at keeping up on things with each other. It’s been really good to have each other, for sure.” People with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition in which the body does not produce insulin, must diligently track their blood sugar levels and their carb intake, and administer insulin. Dalton wears a continuous glucose monitor (GCM), which gives him a reading every five minutes. “Lindsey and I are battling Type 1 diabetes together and are showing the world, and kids around the valley, not to take things for granted, but to take the cards you’ve been dealt and move forward,” Dalton said. Which is exactly what Dalton has done. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound native of Payson has found a home at defensive end this season and is doing everything he can to wreak havoc on the opposing team’s quarterback and running backs game in and game out. “I have played many positions here,” Baker said. “I have been all over the place with whatever coaching staff we’ve had, or wherever we’ve been short and whatever we’ve needed. I have played both sides of the ball my whole life, so I’m a very big student of the game. I think my IQ for both sides of the ball is above most, but I try to keep it to myself. It is all between the ears for me.” Through the first three games of the season,

Baker has tallied four tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss, and one pass breakup. “Dalton Baker is a multiple-position athlete,” said Utah State defensive ends coach Bojay Filimoeatu. “He can play defensive end and he can play outside linebacker. He’s big enough to hold the gap and he’s athletic enough to play on the edge. He is probably one of our most physical guys. “He is always willing to push through everything. Anything that happens to him, he fixes it and comes right back the next play. That is the type of kid I love – a blue-collar kid who is willing to work. He is a tremendous guy on and off the field, and is a great husband. He works hard and is just a good guy to be around, and is fun. Since I’ve been here, he’s always willing to learn and willing to be a leader.” For his career, Baker has appeared in 37 games with five starts, recording 61 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one forced fumble. “I have always been super proud to be Dalton’s girl and the day I became his wife was the best day of my life,” Lindsey said. “I am so lucky to have such a hard-working husband and every time I see him out on that field, I can’t even put into words how proud I am to know that number 24 is all mine. I see all the effort he puts into football and it’s amazing to see what he can do on the field. “Dalton and I have been together our entire careers at Utah State, so I have seen him play a lot of different positions and also seen all the hardships he has dealt with throughout the years. He is always so positive and works harder than anyone I know.” One of Baker’s best games as an Aggie came against Air Force last season, where he recorded a career-best eight tackles. “I want Aggie fans to know that even though Dalton looks really big and scary, deep down he is the biggest sweetheart and looks out for the people around him,” Lindsey said of her husband, who has had around 30 hours of ink work done on his body. “He is very family oriented and loves interacting with people. He would do anything for anyone, and is always looking for ways to help out. Dalton is always full of surprises and is super good at it. He is so thoughtful.” Baker, who is majoring in agriculture with a minor in entrepreneurship, will be done with school this semester, but will walk in the spring of 2020. When he is not focused on football and schooling, Baker enjoys spending time with his wife and family, especially in the outdoors. “I am a guy of all tricks and trades,” he said. “I played football growing up, I played basketball, I was on the wrestling team and swim team. I’ve got horses and love to ride horses. I ride dirt bikes, four-wheelers, ATVs. I love to go fishing, camping, hunting – just anything you can imagine. I can surf, I can wakeboard and I can snowboard. I’m always trying to find new things to do. I’m a busy body, so anything athletic or outside that keeps me busy is great. And, what’s even better, is Lindsey is the same way.”

UTAH STATE

Gary Andersen (hired on Dec. 9, 2018) makes his return to Utah State after serving as USU’s head coach for four seasons (2009-12). Andersen will be the first of 27 coaches in USU history to serve as head coach multiple times. In all, Andersen is entering his 10th season as a Division I head coach, including his fifth at Utah State, and has 30 years of coaching experience. He has been involved in 12 bowl games, including four New Year’s Day bowls. As a head coach, he led Utah State to the 2012 Western Athletic Conference Championship and Wisconsin to the 2014 Big Ten Conference West Division title and has coached 16 NFL Draft picks, including six at USU. During his career, Andersen was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award at Utah State in 2012, along with being named the WAC Coach of the Year, and a semifinalist for the Maxwell Coach of the Year Award (2013) and George Munger Coach of the Year Award (2013, 2014) as the head coach at Wisconsin. He was also a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award at Utah in 2008, which is given to the top assistant in college football. Academically, three of Andersen’s teams finished in the top-10 nationally in Academic Progress Rate, in addition to 160 academic all-conference honorees. During his four-year tenure with the Aggies from 2009-12, Andersen posted a 26-24 overall record, including the school’s first back-to-back winning seasons (7-6 in 2011 and 11-2 in 2012) since 1979-80. He was also the first head coach since Phil Krueger (1973-75) to notch an overall winning record. When initially hired by Utah State on Dec. 4, 2008, Andersen inherited a football program that had suffered through 11 straight losing seasons and only had two winning campaigns in 28 years. Fast forward six years since his departure, and Andersen is inheriting a program that has now appeared in seven bowl games in the past eight years after playing in just four bowl games prior to his arrival. In just his third year at Utah State, Andersen’s 2011 club became the first Aggie team to win seven games since 1993 and the first USU team to play in a bowl game in 14 years. The following season, Andersen led USU to its best season ever with a school-record 11 wins, going undefeated in the WAC and capturing its first outright league title since 1936. USU also won just its second-ever bowl game that season with a 41-15 victory against Toledo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. USU finished the 2012 campaign with an 11-2 record and was one of just two teams in school history at the time, along with the 1961 club, to finish the season nationally ranked as it was 16th in the final Associated Press poll, 17th in the final Coaches poll and 23rd in the final BCS standings. During his four years as Utah State’s head coach, Andersen built an Aggie football program that set numerous school records, including wins (11), points scored (454), total offense (6,108 yards) and yards per game (469.8) in 2012, and touchdowns (60), rushing yards (3,675) and rushing touchdowns (37) in 2011. The 282.7 rushing yards per game in 2011 ranked sixth in the nation that year and are the second-most in school history. Furthermore, the 34.9 points per game scored in 2012 were the second-most in school history at the time, while that team’s defense allowed just 322.1 yards and 15.4 points per game, its fewest at USU since the 1960s. Furthermore, those 15.4 points allowed per game in 2012 ranked seventh nationally. During his final two seasons at Utah State, Andersen led the Aggies to an 18-8 record, including an 11-2 conference mark. While at Utah State, Andersen coached six Aggies who went on to earn All-American honors (Will Davis, Kerwynn Williams, Tyler Larsen, Nevin Lawson, Zach Vigil and Kyler Fackrell) and 10 Aggies who played in the NFL, including current Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner, who was selected in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Furthermore, Andersen coached 27 players that earned various all-conference honors during his time in Logan, including running back Robert Turbin, who was named the WAC’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2011 and has spent the past seven seasons in the NFL. Andersen comes back to Utah State after spending the 2018 season as the associate head coach and defensive line coach at the University of Utah, where the Utes posted a 9-4 record and advanced to the Pac-12 Championship game after winning the Pac-12 South. At Utah, Andersen helped coach 10 defensive starters to all-conference honors, including all three of his starters on the defensive line. In all, Andersen spent 12 years on staff at Utah during three different stints, including helping the Utes to undefeated seasons in 2004 and 2008 as they played in the Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl, respectively. During his time at Utah, Andersen coached two All-Americans, two conference defensive Most Valuable Players, 22 first-team all-conference honorees and 16 NFL draft picks. Following his four years as Utah State’s head coach, Andersen spent two seasons as the head coach at Wisconsin (2013-14) and three years as the head coach at Oregon State (2015-17). At Wisconsin, he led the Badgers to a 19-7 record, a Big Ten divisional championship in 2014 and

HEAD COACH GARY ANDERSEN appearances in the Capital One Bowl and Outback Bowl. During his two years at Wisconsin, Andersen coached five All-Americans and had seven players selected in the NFL Draft. In 2013, Chris Borland was named a first-team All-American, and the Big Ten Conference Linebacker and Defensive Player of the Year. In 2014, Andersen coached Melvin Gordon, the nation’s leading rusher and scorer in 2014, to the Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Year Award and a runner-up finish for the Heisman Trophy. And at Oregon State, Andersen had three players drafted into the NFL in Isaac Seumalo, Sean Harlow and Treston Decoud, and coached two Freshman All-Americans in Xavier Crawford and Gus Lavaka and 12 all-league player. Andersen’s coaching career began in 1988 as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Southeastern Louisiana, where he coached for one season before going to Ricks College from 1989-92 as the offensive line coach. His other coaching stints include Idaho State (1992-94, defensive line), Park City HS (1994-95, head coach) and Northern Arizona (1995-96, assistant head coach/defensive line/ special teams). Andersen also spent the 2003 season as the head coach at Southern Utah. A 1986 graduate of Utah, Andersen earned his bachelor’s degree in political science. He played center for Utah from 1985-86 after garnering first-team juco All-America honors in 1984 at Ricks College. Andersen is married to the former Stacey Lambert, and they have three grown children: Keegan (Jen), and twins Chasen (Marquelle) and Hagen (Kaitlin), one grandson (Raylen), and one granddaughter (Baylor).

Utah State University was ranked as the No. 5 public university in the nation in “National Universities Rankings 2018” by Washington Monthly and is the No. 2 highest-ranked public university in the nation with lowest tuition in “America’s Best Value Colleges” by Forbes. The university’s award-winning faculty continue to receive accolades. In March 2018, physics professor David Peak was named as a 2018 recipient of the National Council on Undergraduate Research-Goldwater Scholars Faculty Mentor Award. And the university’s facilities continue to astound thanks, in part, to many Utah State University alumni and friends who are so generous in their support of the institution. In May 2018, the university celebrated the opening for the Sorenson Legacy Foundation Center for Clinical Excellence on the north side of campus and the Life Sciences Building was dedicated in spring 2019. Prior to being named Utah State’s President, Cockett was serving as Executive Vice President and Provost at USU and has held that position since 2013. Prior to that, she served USU as Vice President for Extension from 2006 to 2013; Dean of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences from 2002 to 2013; and Director of the Utah Agriculture Experiment Station from 2009 to 2013. Cockett has built a distinguished career in sheep genomics research, maintaining an active research program even while serving in various leadership positions at Utah State University. Her research program has centered on the identification of genetic markers associated with economically important traits in sheep, as well as the development of resources that advance research on the sheep genome. Cockett and her colleagues published an article describing the sheep genome sequence in Science in 2014. Her current project focuses on the identification of genetic regions associated with entropion in newborn lambs. Cockett has served as the United States coordinator for sheep genome mapping since 1993 and is an active member of the International Sheep Genomics Consortium. As an active researcher, Cockett has received many awards and accolades throughout her career including a Young Scientist Award from the Western Section of the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS), the Utah Governor’s Medal for Science and Technology (2004 and 2015) and one of USU’s top honors, the D. Wynne Thorne Research Award. After receiving her master’s and doctorate in animal breeding and genetics from Oregon State University in 1983 and 1985, respectively, Cockett spent five years as a research geneticist at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, Nebraska.

UNIVERSITY VICE PRESIDENT / AD

JOHN HARTWELL The Citadel, 1987 June, 2015 - Present (Fifth Year)

Since being named Vice President and Director of Athletics at Utah State on June 2, 2015, John Hartwell has cast his vision for Aggie Athletics, which embodies maximum effort academically, athletically and socially to ensure success in both the classroom and on the fields of competition. Hartwell has also focused his time on maximizing and increasing the department’s revenue streams, along with planning for future facility renovations to both Maverik Stadium and the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. In his time at Utah State, Hartwell has already rebranded the fundraising arm of the athletics department with the creation of Aggies Unlimited, which puts all giving under one umbrella. Utah State also entered into a new partnership with the Larry H. Miller Sports & Entertainment Group to be its flagship radio station for Aggie Athletics, which gives USU additional advertising opportunities throughout Cache Valley and the Wasatch Front, in addition to more control over each broadcast. Additionally, Hartwell has overseen the completion of the $36 million, 85,000-square foot West Stadium Center on the west side of Maverik Stadium, which includes 24 luxury suites, 20 loge boxes, over 700 covered club seats and a premium club area that is also used to host a studentathlete training table. Renovations also included new video boards on both the north and south ends of the stadium, along with a new public address system, while major concourse work significantly increased restrooms and upgraded concessions. Under Hartwell’s leadership, Utah State athletics has seen unparalleled success during the past four years, which includes arguably the best twoyear stretch ever. The just completed 2018-19 academic year saw both its football and men’s basketball teams nationally ranked as Utah State was one of just five institutions to have both programs ranked in the final Associated Press polls. Collectively, USU produced a combined 39-9 record between football (11-2) and men’s basketball (28-7) this past year, which is a single-season school record. That 39-9 mark was tied for the fourth-best winning percentage and seventh-most wins nationally. Furthermore, football tied the school record for wins with its 11-2 record, while men’s basketball went 28-7 to tie for the third-most victories in program history. In all, the 2018-19 academic year marked just the third time in school history that football and men’s basketball advanced to a bowl game and the NCAA Tournament, respectively. Furthermore, first-year head coach Craig Smith, who Hartwell hired, led Utah State’s men’s basketball program to its first-ever Mountain West regular season title and tournament championship after entering the season picked ninth in the preseason polls. Additionally, its football program was picked to finish fourth in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West, but posted a 7-1 league mark to tie for first in the division. At season’s end, both program’s head coaches were named Mountain West Coach of the Year. Not to be outdone, the 2017-18 academic year was arguably the best in school history under Hartwell as Aggie Athletics ranked 78th nationally in the Learfield Director’s Cup Standings, which is by far the best finish for USU in the Cup’s 25 years, while its 400-plus student-athletes achieved a school-record 3.25 grade-point average.

In 2017-18, Utah State’s men’s tennis program won its third-straight Mountain West regular season championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in as many years. In fact, men’s tennis won the school’s first Mountain West regular season (2016) and tournament championships (2017) since joining the Conference in 2013 and finished the 2017 campaign with a school-record 23 wins and a final national ranking of No. 45. Additionally, Utah State’s track & field/cross country teams had their best seasons in school history in 2017-18, highlighted by the men’s programs finishing the year ranked 10th nationally by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. During the 2017-18 seasons, the Aggie men placed 27th in their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Cross Country Championships, followed by a 28th-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships and an 18th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as its student-athletes combined to garner 12 All-America honors. On the women’s side, USU’s cross country program finished 14th in its first-ever appearance at the NCAA Championships, while its studentathletes combined to garner three All-America honors during the 2017-18 academic year Aggie football also excelled during the 2017-18 academic year, playing in its sixth bowl game in the past seven seasons. Aggie softball has also seen increased success in the recent past as they finished the 2017 campaign with a 33-18 record, including a 14-9 Mountain West mark, and advanced to the National Softball Invitational, marking the program’s first postseason appearance since 1993. In fact, those 33 overall wins and 14 league victories are its most since 1996, as USU finished the 2017 season tied for third place in the league. Even more impressive is Utah State’s continued successes by its studentathletes in the classroom as they have a 92 percent graduation success rate, which is the highest in the Mountain West, and a cumulative 3.24 grade-point average. During the 2018-19 academic year, USU had 170 student-athletes earn academic all-Mountain West honors, while 120 were named Mountain West Scholar-Athletes. Additionally, USU recognized 206 student-athletes at its annual Joe E. and Elma Whitesides Luncheon for earning a 3.2 or better GPA. Hartwell came to Utah State after spending three years as the Athletics Director at Troy and nine years as the Senior Executive Associate Athletics Director at the University of Mississippi, along with athletic administration stints at Georgia State and his alma mater, The Citadel. A 1987 graduate of The Citadel, the 54-year old Hartwell spent four-plus years as a certified public accountant with Ernst & Young before returning to his alma mater to serve as the Director of Internal Audit in 1991. From 1994 to 1997, he was in private business as the Chief Financial Officer for a $36 million beverage distributor on the South Carolina coast. Hartwell is married to Dr. Heather Seale Hartwell, and they have two daughters, Lauren (10) and Madison (7). Hartwell also has a 27-year old son, Hunter, a Vanderbilt graduate who lives in Atlanta.

SENIOR FEATURE JACOBY WILDMAN

DEFENSIVE END HAS LOVED PLAYING FOR HOMETOWN AGGIES

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations It’s a question he gets asked a lot about, and one he can’t dodge. Jacoby Wildman doesn’t mind, though. He is happy to talk about his time at Utah State, and playing for the hometown Aggies. “I feel like this is the most-asked question I get, especially for guys that are in the circumstances that I’m in, being from Logan,” Wildman said with a laugh. “It’s really awesome. I love playing in front of my wife and my family. They mean everything to me, and they’re the reason that I play. To be able to play in front of them is a dream come true, and I am thankful for the opportunity. It has been a good five years, and I am hoping to end it all with a bang.” So far, so good. Wildman and the Aggies are 1-0 in Mountain West play heading into Utah State’s Homecoming game against Colorado State. Wildman, who graduated from Utah State in the spring of 2019 with a degree in sociology and a minor in criminal justice, is doing everything he can for the Aggies in his final season. The native of Logan has played in all three games, recording 11 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks. In Utah State’s opener against Wake Forest, Wildman, who is currently working on his master’s of business administration, recorded six tackles, including a career-high 2.0 tackles for loss. “Jacoby has pretty much set the standard for effort,” said first-year Utah State defensive ends coach Bojay Filimoeatu. “He has shown Aggie effort every play that he goes in, and obviously, he cares a whole lot about his teammates. He cares about them on and off the field. He is just always working, no matter what, whether it’s learning the playbook or anything techniquewise on the field. “He is always trying to learn and get better, and that’s what he has always set examples of within the whole group. It is great for the underclassmen to see such an example as him.” Wildman, a 6-foot-2, 250-pound defensive end, always plays at a high level, which hasn’t changed since his days of roaming Logan High School’s Crimson Field. “He goes full speed no matter what,” Filimoeatu said. “It could be the first play of the game or it could be the last play of the game. If he is 120 reps into the game, he’ll still have the same amount of effort he did on the very first play.” Not only does Wildman get to play for the hometown Aggies, but he gets to do it alongside his cousin, junior defensive tackle Caden Andersen, who also played at Logan HS. “Caden and I have always had a really close relationship,” Wildman said. “We understand each other and we respect each other. We get along really well. We lived together for two years after we both got home from our missions, and that was a good time. I have lots of memories with him, and he’s a good, hard-working kid, who will be a great player.” Aggie blood runs deep in Wildman’s family as

his uncle, Dennis Wildman, also played at Utah State. He was a linebacker for the Aggies in 1987. In his first stint at Utah State, fifth-year head coach Gary Andersen recruited Wildman when he was at Logan HS. Once Andersen offered the former Grizzly, everything else was off the table. “The day before that offer, Weber State had offered me, and I was headed to BYU and Utah for their camps the following two days,” Wildman recalled. “I was actually talking to one of the coaches at BYU a lot, but as soon as Coach A offered me, I didn’t even show up for the camps, because this is where I wanted to be.” Wildman is grateful he gets the chance to play for both Andersen and Filimoeatu in his final year at Utah State. “I am just grateful for Coach A and coach Bojay,” Wildman said. “They are great teachers and great coaches. They know a lot about the game. I’m really grateful for them and my teammates that are around me, too. I have learned a lot from them.” Coming out of Logan HS, where he earned honorable mention all-state honors and firstteam all-region accolades following his senior season in 2012, Wildman served a mission to Houston, Texas, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Wildman then enrolled at Utah State and redshirted in 2015. That same year, he was named Utah State’s Scout Team Defensive Most Valuable Player. In 38 career games with the Aggies, Wildman has 73 tackles, including 7.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks, to go along with four quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery. Wildman just doesn’t get it done on the field, though. He is also a stalwart in the classroom. The son of Mike and Stephanie Wildman is a three-time academic all-Mountain West recipient and two-time MW Scholar-Athlete honoree, to

go along with earning CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict VIII accolades in 2017. “He will outwork anybody,” Filimoeatu said. “That’s how the kid is. The special thing about him is he always wants to be the hardest worker in our group, and probably on the team. He is probably our most reliable guy, and he’s really smart. He has got a really high IQ in football.” Wildman is married to the former Mariah Hansen, who is an Aggiette. Had it not been for one of his former teammates at Utah State, wide receiver Connor McGuire, the two may have never gotten together. That’s because Wildman said he was too scared to ask Mariah for her phone number. “I first saw her when I would go to the (Logan) Rec Center,” Wildman explained. “Our weight room is closed certain hours, so I would go to the Logan Rec because we could get in there, and she worked at the front desk. Connor also worked there, and she was so pretty, but I was too scared to get her number, so Connor got it for me. “A week after I texted her, she finally texted me back. She was actually going through her phone about to delete some texts, and she was about to delete the text that I sent, but was like, ‘Well, I might as well just text him back.’ I’m grateful that she did, and I’m lucky that she’s still here with me, too. She is amazing and I don’t deserve her.” When he is not busy with school or football, Wildman enjoys hanging out with his wife, watching movies, playing video games and camping. His competitive nature doesn’t just stop on the gridiron, either. “I am too competitive, and you can ask Mariah that,” said Wildman, who can juggle with the best of them. “It kind of drives her up the wall sometimes.” What else would you expect from a guy who goes full speed no matter what?

SENIOR FEATURE BRADEN HARRIS

®

DEFENSIVE END HAS PROVEN TO BE THE ULTIMATE TEAMMATE

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Braden Harris admits he hasn’t played as much as he would have liked during his time at Utah State. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t a valuable member of the Aggies, and doesn’t do everything he can to make the team better. “My time at Utah State has been great,” Harris said. “I think any time you can go to school and play football, it’s the best job, or best opportunity you could have, to get an education and play the great game of football that we all love. “I haven’t gotten as much time as I would have liked, but I’ve always wanted to be a good teammate, and I’ve always wanted to put the team above myself and help the team in any facet that I could, whether it be on scout team or just cheering on my fellow teammates.” That attitude hasn’t gone unnoticed. “I love the guy,” said first-year Utah State defensive ends coach Bojay Filimoeatu. “He has done so much for the team, even though he doesn’t get the playing time that he would want as a player, but he hasn’t cried once. He has come to me and asked, ‘Coach, what can I do?’ I harped on little things here and there, and he has perfected it. “As a coaching staff, we love him, because we can put him anywhere. In the spring, we put him at defensive tackle, and he handled it great, and then we put him back at defensive end, and he handled it great.” During his first stint at Utah State, fifth-year head coach Gary Andersen recruited Harris, who earned first-team all-state and all-region honors following his senior season at Gunnison Valley High School. “Initially, I wanted to come to Utah State because I really liked the coaches,” Harris said.

“Coach A was recruiting me before he left for Wisconsin, and I really liked him, and I really liked coach (Frank) Maile. It was close enough to home, but far enough away, to get a college experience.” After graduating from Gunnison Valley HS, the native of Gunnison, Utah, served a two-year mission to Tonga for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Upon his return, Harris stayed true to his commitment to Utah State and made the trek to Cache Valley to continue his schooling and football career. Harris is grateful for the chance he gets to play for Andersen in his final season with the Aggies. “I would’ve never guessed I would have had

the opportunity to play for Coach A and that he would’ve come back to Logan after his stops at other universities,” Harris said, “but I am glad he did. I did have other schools looking at me like BYU and Utah, and other Mountain West schools, but once Utah State offered me I didn’t think twice about it. I wanted to come up here.” In his four seasons at Utah State, Harris has appeared in eight games, recording seven tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss. In the Aggies’ 62-7 home win over Stony Brook earlier this season, Harris recorded one tackle. “What I’ll remember most about my time here is my teammates,” Harris said. “Some of my teammates I consider close family. Also, just having the opportunity to play collegiate football for Utah State and be part of the nationally-ranked team last year, is something I will never forget.” Harris, who earned Mountain West ScholarAthlete honors in 2018, will graduate this December with a degree in human biology. He is minoring in both chemistry and sociology. “Talk about a guy who, off the field, is a great husband and is going to be a doctor one day,” Filimoeatu said. “He is probably one of the hardest workers off the field I have ever seen. In this term alone, he has all biology classes, and that is crazy. He is just a stud, and I love the kid to death. He served his mission in Tonga, where my family is from, so he speaks fluent Tongan. It was good when I first got here, he spoke Tongan to me and I said, ‘What?’ It was a good shock, but I love the kid to death, and I’m excited for him to see his baby boy, and I’m excited for his future.” Harris, who learned to play the ukulele on his mission, and his wife, Meagan, are expecting their first child, a son. She is due on Dec. 31. During Utah State’s bye week, Harris went and interviewed at one of the medical schools he recently applied for. “Hopefully, I’ll hear back and get accepted this fall sometime,” said Harris, who also added he wants to become a foot doctor. Outside of football and schooling, Harris enjoys spending time with his wife and family, and being in the outdoors. “I am excited for his future,” Filimoeatu said. “He has a bright future in this world. Most guys don’t know what they’re going to do after football, but Braden is set up. He worked his tail off in the classroom for the future, and you talk about a kid for our Beyond Football Program that we have here, he has taken it way beyond football. “I am just excited for him, his wife and their future son.”
