HAPPY BIRTHDAY Senior OG Taani Fisilau will celebrate his 23rd birthday on Saturday, Oct. 3. It is the second-straight year that USU has played on Fisilau’s birthday as it posted a 35-20 win at No. 18 BYU last year. A LOOK AT UTAH STATE Utah State is 1-2 on the season following its 31-17 loss at Washington two weekends ago. USU began the year with a 12-9 home win against Southern Utah, followed by a 24-14 loss at No. 24 Utah. Offensively, USU is led by redshirt senior QB Chuckie Keeton, who is 55-of-101 (.545) passing for 537 yards (179.0 ypg) with two touchdowns and five interceptions. Sophomore RB LaJuan Hunt leads the team in rushing with 157 yards on 50 carries (3.1 ypc) and senior WR Devonte Robinson has a team-best 10 receptions for 152 yards (15.2 ypr). Defensively, junior LB Nick Vigil leads the team with 34 tackles, which includes 4.0 tackles for loss, while senior LB LT Filiaga has 25 tackles. As a team, Utah State is averaging 14.3 points and 292.3 yards of total offense (179.0 - passing, 113.3 - rushing) and allowing 21.3 points and 310.7 yards of total offense (203.7 - passing, 107.0 - rushing). KEETON TO MISS FOUR TO SIX WEEKS WITH KNEE INJURY Utah State redshirt senior QB Chuckie Keeton will miss the next four-to-six weeks due to a medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprain to his right knee, it was announced on Tuesday, Sept. 22 by Aggie head coach Matt Wells. The injury occured in USU’s last game at Washington (9/19) and was to his uninjured knee. Keeton, who has played in just six games since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee against BYU on Oct. 4, 2013, needs just one touchdown to set the USU career record, which he currently shares with Jose Fuentes (2000-2002) as both players have 60 career touchdown passes. Overall, Keeton has 19 career multi-touchdown games. MYERS TO START SEVENTH CAREER GAME FOR UTAH STATE • Sophomore QB Kent Myers will start his seventh career game against Colorado State this weekend, and was 5-1 as Utah State’s starting quarterback in 2014 as he completed 79-of-119 (.664) passes for 866 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions, while rushing for 310 yards on 56 carries (5.5 ypc) and a team-leading five touchdowns. • As a true freshman, Myers was named the Offensive Most Valuable Player of the Gildan New Mexico Bowl after USU’s 21-6 win against UTEP as he rushed a career-high 15 times for 70 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown run, and was 5-of-12 passing for 68 yards with an interception.

UTAH STATE LINEBACKER KYLER FACKRELL BALANCES FOOTBALL, FATHERHOOD, SCHOOL by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations

KYLER

FACKRELL When Kyler Fackrell arrived in Cache Valley, Utah State’s football program had just wrapped up its second season under former head coach Gary Andersen. The Aggies went 4-8 in 2010 under Andersen, but it was their 13th consecutive losing season. During those lean years, Utah State suffered through a stretch where it lost 16 in a row and won just twice in 29 games. Times have certainly changed since then and blue-collar players like Fackrell are a big reason why. Since Fackrell’s arrival on campus in 2011, the Aggies have compiled a 38-19 overall record, played in four consecutive bowl games and won three straight bowl games, both of which are school records. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound senior linebacker, who redshirted in 2011, is back on the field for the Aggies after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the second quarter of the 2014 opener at Tennessee. “It’s awesome being back,” Fackrell said. “It still has taken me a little bit to really truly get back into it. It is different to play in real games, but it’s been amazing to come out and play with these guys again. To be able to stand on the sideline, to try and contribute and win a game with my teammates is a lot of fun.” Through the first three games of his senior season, Fackrell ranks third on the team in tackles with 16, including a team-best 2.0 sacks and two quarterback hurries. “When you talk about Kyler, you talk about a guy that has tremendous talent,” said former Utah State linebacker Zach Vigil, who is in his rookie season with the Miami Dolphins. “When we played Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl, their whole game plan was to stop Kyler. When you hear stuff like that, it shows you the kind of respect he demands when he’s on the field.” And while Fackrell has helped turn the Aggies into a consistent winner, there is still something he would like to accomplish before leaving Logan. The Preseason Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year would love nothing more than to help Utah State capture a title. “There is, just like there has been, a big sense of urgency for us to win and hopefully get that Mountain West Conference championship,” Fackrell said. Playing in his first game back since suffering the season-ending knee injury against Tennessee, it didn’t appear as if Fackrell had missed any time at all. After all, the former three-sport star at Mesa (Ariz.) High School had five tackles, including a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss and a career-high-tying 2.0 sacks, in Utah State’s 12-9 victory against Southern Utah on Sept. 3. “He brings consistency to the table every day,” Vigil said. “Kyler is a guy who is going to work hard for you, especially the last couple of years that I was there with him. It was unfortunate that he got hurt last year. He was set up to have a really good year.” Fackrell currently ranks tied for 10th all-time in school history with 125 interception return yards. Most

of that came on a 99-yard pick-six, which ranks as the third-longest interception return in both school and MW history, against Hawai’i on Nov. 12, 2013. For his career, Fackrell has recorded 187 tackles, including 25.0 tackles for loss and 10.0 sacks, four interceptions, four pass breakups, four forced fumbles and two fumble recovering. He even spent some time at tight end during as a sophomore in 2013, catching a 4-yard touchdown pass against Weber State to become the first Aggie to score an offensive and defensive touchdown in the same season since 1964, when Earsell Mackbee had four receiving touchdowns and two pick-sixes. “Kyler is an awesome teammate,” Vigil said. “He’s very even-keeled, he’s one of the guys and he’s a family man all in one. That’s pretty rare if you’ve been around quite a few locker rooms. Kyler is a special individual, he has a big heart, he cares about his friends, and he cares about his family, his wife and his daughter. He’s just an all-around really good guy at the core.” Fackrell is Utah State’s best prospect for the 2016 NFL draft. Heading into the 2014 campaign, he had been tabbed by some analysts as an under-the-radar prospect to monitor. Numerous NFL scouts dotted Utah State’s sidelines during fall camp to watch Fackrell, who is an extremely fast, athletic and long-levered linebacker that can play both the pass and the run. Fackrell would love nothing more than to following in the footsteps of Aggie greats like Vigil and Bobby Wagner (Seattle Seahawks), and make an NFL roster. “We’re all super proud of the Aggies that have made it like Bobby and Zach,” Fackrell said. “It’s a good thing. The more guys we can get in the league from Utah State, the better for us.” But Fackrell isn’t just a standout linebacker for the Aggies. He’s also a student, husband and father. He and his wife, Elizabeth (Luke), will celebrate their twoyear wedding anniversary in October. The couple has one child, a daughter named Delaney, who was born on Jan. 11, 2015. Being a husband and father is something Fackrell cherishes every single day. “Delaney changed my perspective and my wife did, too, when we got married,” Fackrell said. “Before that, football was really the only thing that I thought about and worried about. Having a family does kind of change your perspective. Football doesn’t necessarily take a back seat because it’s still a huge part of my life, and my family’s life. We have to work around the football schedule for the majority of the year, but my wife does a great job and she’s a blessing.” And when you ask his wife, the feeling is definitely mutual. “If there’s anything that I would love people to know about Kyler, it’s that he is the most amazing husband and father,” Elizabeth said. “He knows how to make

someone feel 100 percent special. He always makes time for me. Even with his crazy, busy schedule with fall camp and football, his first question to me is always, ‘How was your day?’ He wants to know about things that are going on in my life. It would seem to me that someone in his position, that would be completely irrelevant, but he is pretty adamant about making sure I’m feeling good. And when I am feeling upset, he definitely takes time to take care of me.” Delaney is definitely a daddy’s girl. “Kyler is not a prideful person,” Elizabeth said. “I don’t think there’s any secret about that, but if there is one thing that he is when it comes to his daughter, it’s proud. He calls her his gorgeous girl every time he sees her.” The son of Darrell and Lori Fackrell is a selfproclaimed nerd and enjoys playing both video and computer games. In fact, he won the most recent FIFA tournament against his fellow teammates. Fackrell also likes Titanfall on the Xbox and StarCraft II on the computer. “Kyler takes Delaney with him to Nick Vigil’s house to play FIFA,” Elizabeth was quick to point out. “He loves to have her around no matter where he is and he’s proud to be a dad.” Having not been highly recruited out of Mesa HS, Fackrell is grateful for the opportunity Utah State’s football program gave him. He hopes Aggie fans feel the same way toward him and what he’s helped this team accomplish. “I want the fans to remember me as a hard-working guy, somebody who was willing to sacrifice whatever I needed to for the team and help change the program around and get to where we are,” said Fackrell, who is majoring in business administration and is on track to graduate in December.

HEAD COACH MATT WELLS

MATT WELLS HEAD COACH UTAH STATE, 1996

2013 Mountain West Coach of the Year

Third Season as Utah State Head Coach (19-9 Overall,13-3 Mountain West) Fifth Season Overall at Utah State Matt Wells has wasted little time putting his stamp on the Aggie football program as head coach, as Utah State is 19-9 during his two years at the helm, including a 13-3 Mountain West record. Those 19 wins are a school-record by a USU coach in his first two seasons and he already ranks as the 11th-winningest coach in school history, while his 67.9 winning percentage ranks second all-time in school history with a minimum of 15 games coached. During his four years at Utah State, which includes two years as an assistant, Wells has been part of a program that has played in four-straight bowl games and won three-straight bowls, both of which are school records, while posting a 37-17 record. Furthermore, Utah State is one of just four programs to win 30 games and record three bowl victories in the past three seasons joining Clemson, Michigan State and Oregon. During the 2014 season, Wells led Utah State to 10 wins to rank as the second-most in school history behind the 2012 team that finished with an 11-2 record. USU also played in its fourth-straight bowl game in 2014 and won its third-straight bowl. In his second year as Utah State’s head coach, Wells mentored 15 players who earned 16 allMountain West honors, which were the most in the league and tied for the third-most in school history.

Wells also mentored two All-Americans in 2014 in Zach Vigil and Jalen Davis. Vigil was named an All-American by four different publications, including being named a USA Today Sports second-team All-American, while Davis was named a true freshman All-American by 247Sports. Along with earning All-American honors, Vigil was also named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year. In his first season as head coach, Wells led Utah State to the inaugural Mountain West Championship game after winning the Mountain Division of the conference with a 7-1 record in 2013. Wells also led Utah State to just its third-ever bowl victory as it posted a 21-14 win against No. 24 Northern Illinois in the 2013 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. For his efforts, Wells was named the 2013 Mountain West Coach of the Year as he set the school record for wins by a first-year head coach. The Aggies finished the season with a 9-5 record, tying the 1960 and 1961 teams for the second-most wins in school history at the time. Overall, Wells is the fifth USU coach in school history to garner conference coach of the year honors along with Bruce Snyder (1978), Chuck Shelton (1991), John L. Smith (1997) and Gary Andersen (2012). Wells is also the fourth individual to earn

MW Coach of the Year honors in his first season along with BYU’s Gary Crowton (2001), Utah’s Urban Meyer (2003) and Air Force’s Troy Calhoun (2007). During his first year as Utah State’s head coach, Wells mentored 14 Aggies who earned various allMountain West honors, including three All-Americans as Tyler Larsen was named a second-team AllAmerican by USA Today Sports, Nevin Lawson was named a third-team All-American by College Sports Madness, and Kyler Fackrell was named an honorable mention Sophomore All-American by College Football News. Wells also coached a school-record four players who were invited and participated in the 2014 NFL Combine in Larsen, Lawson, Maurice Alexander and D.J. Tialavea, while a total of 16 players from the 2013 and 2014 rosters were invited to NFL/CFL camps, including Alexander (St. Louis Rams) and Lawson (Detroit Lions), who were both selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MATT WELLS... Gary Andersen, Oregon State Head Football Coach: “I’m very happy for Coach Wells and the success that Utah State has continued to have under his leadership. He takes care of kids both on and off the field and has surrounded himself with a staff that does the same. I look forward to seeing more of the same out of the Aggies in the future.” Zach Vigil, Linebacker, Miami Dolphins: “Coach Wells is a true family man. You can see that in the way he treats his immediate family, coaches and his players.”

The Wells Family (L-R): Ella, Matt, Wyatt, Jenn, Jadyn.

Ken Niumatalolo, Navy Head Football Coach: “It doesn’t surprise me at all how well Matt is doing as a head coach. I knew Matt when he first started coaching almost 20 years ago, and I knew then that he had a very bright future in this profession. Sustained success in any profession or business is hard, especially in the ultra competitive world of DI college football. Not only has Utah State continued their success under Matt’s leadership, they have gotten better and are a legit MWC title contender every year now under Matt.”

Wells, who is the 17th-youngest head coach at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level and one of 14 coaches to lead his alma mater, is just the second Utah State graduate to be appointed its head football coach joining Chris Pella, who graduated from USU in 1965 and coached the Aggies from 1983-85. Prior to being named the head coach at his alma mater, Wells spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Utah State, including serving as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2012 campaign. In 2011, Wells coached USU’s quarterbacks and was the team’s recruiting coordinator. As offensive coordinator in 2012, Utah State concluded its most successful season in school history as it went 11-2 and set school records for wins (11) and home wins (6), while being nationally ranked in the Associated Press poll for three-straight weeks for the first time in school history. USU also won its first outright conference championship since 1936 during the 2012 campaign and just its third in school history joining the 1921 and 1936 teams that both won Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference titles. All-time, Utah State has won or shared 11 league championships. As offensive coordinator in 2012, Wells directed an Aggie offense that set single-season school records for total points (454), total offense (6,108 yards), completions (285) and total yards per game (469.8), while ranking second in points per game (34.9) and total passing yards (3,445). Nationally, Utah State’s 2012 offense ranked second in the Western Athletic Conference and 23rd in the country in total offense (469.8 ypg), second in the WAC and 18th in the nation in passing efficiency (153.21), second in the WAC and 25th in the nation in rushing offense (204.8 ypg), third in the WAC and 31st in the nation in sacks allowed (1.38 pg), third in the WAC and 33rd in the nation in scoring offense (34.9 ppg), and third in the WAC and 39th in the nation in passing offense (265.0 ypg). Under Wells, Utah State finished the 2012 season scoring 38 or more points in each of its final seven games, bettering the previous school record of 38-plus points in three-straight games accomplished six times and most recently in 2000. In 2012, Wells coached current Aggie senior quarterback Chuckie Keeton, who earned first-team all-WAC honors after setting single-season school records for touchdown passes (27), passing yards (3,373), completion percentage (.676), completions (275) and total offense (3,992 yards). Keeton also earned WAC Offensive Player of the Week honors four times in 2012, which is a singleseason school record. Under Wells’ tutelage, Keeton has emerged as one of the top quarterbacks in the nation and currently ranks first in school history in career completion percentage (.654), second in career touchdown passes (58), second in career completions (568), third in career total offense (7,621 yards), third in career passing yardage (6,387), fourth in career passing attempts (869) and 20th in career rushing yards (1,234). As the quarterbacks coach in 2011, Wells helped Utah State’s offense establish then-school records for total offense (5,945 yards), rushing yards (3,675), total points (437) and total touchdowns (60). Wells, a former Aggie quarterback and three-year letterwinner from 1994-96, was a member of two conference championship teams as a student-athlete as he was a redshirt freshman in 1993 when Utah State tied for first in the Big West Conference and defeated Ball State, 42-33, in the Las Vegas Bowl for its first-ever bowl win. As a senior in 1996, Wells helped USU to another share of the Big West Conference title. Wells, who has been a part of eight bowl teams and two conference championships during his coaching career, came to Utah State after two coaching stints at New Mexico, serving as the Lobos’ wide receivers and kickoff return unit coach in 2010 and wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator from 2007 to 2008. In 2009, Wells served as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator at Louisville. Prior to his first stint at New Mexico, Wells spent five years (2002-06) as the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator at Tulsa and five years at the U.S. Naval Academy (1997-2001) as its quarterbacks coach, fullbacks coach and wide receivers coach, while also serving as the junior varsity head coach and offensive coordinator for three years. Wells, a native of Sallisaw, Okla., received his bachelor’s degree in business marketing from Utah State in 1996, graduating cum laude. He and his wife Jen have two daughters, Jadyn (12) and Ella (9), and one son, Wyatt (6). His brother, Luke, is Utah State’s co-offensive coordinator, tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator.

ADMINISTRATION STAN ALBRECHT

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Stan L. Albrecht was named Utah State University’s 15th president and assumed his new position on Feb. 1, 2005. At the time of the announcement, Albrecht was serving as executive vice president and provost at Utah State, a position he held since 2001. He previously served as its dean of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences from 1998-2001. Albrecht has had many successes during his tenure as president. Under his leadership, the university launched a comprehensive fundraising campaign that raised $500 million at its completion in October of 2012. Undergraduate Kathryn “Katie” Sweet is a 2015 Goldwater Scholar and, for the second consecutive year, student David Griffin received honorable mention in a prestigious national competition that recognizes outstanding achievements in science and mathematics. With this year’s honorees, USU boasts 24 Goldwater Scholars and 12 honorable mention recipients since 1998. Changes on campus are happening as well. Ground was broken for the new, state-ofthe-art Huntsman Hall, a $42 million, 117,000-square-foot addition that will wrap around the south and west sides of the George S. Eccles Business Building. Jon M. Huntsman, Sr. is the lead donor for the new building, scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2015. And Jon M. Huntsman School of Business alum Jeffrey Clark and his wife, Bonnie Clark, have provided a $6 million leadership gift to help establish the Jeffrey D. Clark Center for Entrepreneurship in that college. Students will also be excited that construction is well under way on the USU Student Recreation & Wellness Center (SRWC) building. USU students voted in favor of a new recreation and wellness center in the spring of 2012, but the building has been a work in progress for nearly a decade. Students will have full access to the building in fall 2015, which is the anticipated completion date. These many notable accomplishments indicate that USU is on par with some of the leading institutions for higher education in the nation and does not go unnoticed. Prior to his arrival at Utah State, Albrecht served as an administrator and professor at the University of Florida from 1993-98. He also served for 18 years at Brigham Young University (1974-92), including three years as academic vice president and associate provost. He began his career as an assistant professor of sociology at Utah State University in 1970 through 1974. A sociologist, Albrecht has written extensively, including as a co-author of the textbooks Social Psychology and Social Science Research Methods, both published by Prentice-Hall. He has authored numerous scholarly papers on a wide range of topics, including the environment, energy development and rural health. Albrecht received his doctorate from Washington State University in 1970, a master’s degree from Washington State University in 1968 and bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in 1966. All three degrees were in sociology. He is a member of the Science Committee for the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of Interior. He has served as a council member of the Society for Human Ecology and as vice president of the Rural Sociological Society. Albrecht is married to Joyce Albrecht, Utah State’s Director of Stewardship Programs.

JOHN HARTWELL VICE PRESIDENT AND ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

John Hartwell was named Utah State’s Vice President and Director of Athletics on June 2, 2015. Hartwell comes to Utah State after spending the past three years as the Athletics Director at Troy, where he laid the groundwork for the future of Trojan Athletics by spearheading several significant upgrades to its athletic facilities, including the addition of a new $2 million practice facility for the golf teams, a $3 million renovation and expansion of the softball facility and a $2.1 million improvement to Veterans Memorial Stadium, while also securing funding for lights to be installed at the soccer and track complex. Hartwell also unveiled the North End Zone Project for Veterans Memorial Stadium, a $20 million project that will be the new home for Trojan football. During the 2014-15 academic year, five Troy programs competed in postseason play, highlighted by a pair of Sun Belt Conference championships by the women’s golf and men’s tennis teams, while the women’s basketball team won 20 games for the first time since 1996-97 and made just its second postseason appearance in school history. Within the past year, three of Hartwell’s new coaching hires have been named Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year. Under Hartwell, Troy Athletics saw a significant enhancement in fundraising and external relations as he completely overhauled Troy’s External Affairs division of the Athletics Department to increase revenues and enhance the fan and game day experience. As part of this makeover was the creation of a new external model, which included the addition of a Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs; bringing corporate sponsorships in house with a partnership with Rockbridge Sports Group; and the development of the Troy Affinity Program to further engage Troy students in athletics. Hartwell’s strong business background also proved to be valuable at Troy as he negotiated a new footwear and apparel deal with Adidas, while also securing home-and-home football games with Duke and North Carolina State in addition to yielding a home basketball game with Mississippi. Hartwell’s tenure at Troy also saw a record number of student-athletes earn a 3.0 grade-point-average, an upward trend in APR scores and additional staff positions in Troy’s academic support department. During the 2014-15 academic year, Troy student-athletes finished with a 3.01 cumulative grade-point-average and over 57 percent of Troy’s studentathletes had a 3.0 GPA or higher. At Troy, Hartwell served on the NCAA Division I Basketball Issues Committee, the Division I-A Board of Trustees Executive Committee, and the NCAA Division I Council as the Sun Belt Conference representative. He has also been an instructor at the Division I-A Institute for aspiring athletic directors the past two years. Prior to being the Director of Athletics at Troy, Hartwell spent nine-plus years at the University of Mississippi, where he was the Senior Executive Associate Athletics Director, serving as the number two administrator. At Ole Miss, Hartwell managed the growth of the Rebels’ athletic budget from $26 million in the 2003 fiscal year to over $47 million in the 2012 fiscal year. A 1987 graduate of The Citadel, the 50-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’s direct experience in athletics administration began as the Assistant Athletics Director for Business at Georgia State in 1997 and he was promoted to Associate Athletics Director for Internal Affairs in 1999. While at Georgia State, Hartwell earned a master’s degree in sports administration. Athletics has always been a big part of Hartwell’s life, starting in high school where he was an all-state basketball selection at UMS-Wright in Mobile, Ala. The 6-foot-7 forward was also a three-year starter at The Citadel. Hartwell is married to Dr. Heather Seale Hartwell, and they have two daughters, Lauren (6) and Madison (3). Hartwell also has a 23-year old son, Hunter, a Vanderbilt graduate who works for Deloitte Consulting.

GALEA’I AND HUTCHINSON BRING RELIABILITY TO LONG SNAPPER POSITION by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations

® SALANOA GALEA’I They are arguably the most underappreciated players in football and it is one of the most underappreciated skills in the game. Welcome to the life of a long snapper. At Utah State, that job belongs to senior Salanoa Galea’i (name is pronounced Sal-a-no-ah Nah-lay-eye). The 6-foot-1, 240-pound native of Euless, Texas, is in his second year with the program. He appeared in all 14 games for the Aggies as a junior in 2014 and has played in the first three games of his senior campaign. “These last two years have been awesome,” Galea’i said. “I’ve learned a lot and have been able to build a lot of friendships with people here in Utah.” After earning Texas Class 6A Region I District 7 first-team honors at tight end as a prep senior at Euless Trinity High School, Galea’i began his collegiate career at Louisiana-Monroe in 2009. During his freshman season, Galea’i served as the team’s long snapper in all 12 games. Galea’i then spent the 2010 season at Tyler (Texas) Junior College before serving a two-year LDS Church mission in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, from 2011-13. He planned on continuing his football career at BYU after returning home, but things didn’t work out and Galea’i enrolled at Utah State. “I got a hold of (co-offensive coordinator/tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator) Luke Wells,” Galea’i explained. “We knew of each other before when he coached at Louisiana-Monroe. I asked coach if there were any spots open, so thank goodness there was. I’ve loved every minute up here.” The Aggies have loved having Galea’i in the program, especially special teams coordinator/running backs coach Dave Ungerer. “He was a tremendous get for us,” Ungerer said. “We had an unfortunate situation with Nate Needham, who I thought was one of the better snappers for sure in our league and maybe in the country. He had been doing it at a high level for a long time and then gets an unfortunate injury, which ends his career, and we’re stuck now. So, we had to get on the phone and try to find someone. “Salanoa’s name happened to come across our desks,” Ungerer continued. “He already had experience as a snapper, but it was a gamble. There was a lot of gamble to it.” The gamble paid off for the Aggies. “We brought him and a couple of other guys in during training camp,” Ungerer explained. “We had to overload with snappers a little during training camp and he ended up showing what he could do. It was very positive for our program.” Galea’i had high expectations entering his senior season. “I want to be able to shine this year and have it be my breakout year,” he said. “I want this year to be the best year I’ve had, to be able to show the coaches that I am reliable.” Reliability is huge when it comes to the long snapper. After all, a bad snap can lead to a blocked punt or missed field goal, which ultimately could cost a team the game. Besides that, Ungerer wants Galea’i to get the ball to the punter in .75 seconds or less, which he does on a consistent basis. “He’s been tremendously accurate during the time he’s been here, which has been a big help,” Ungerer said. “He’s kind of a quiet guy, but does his work and asks intelligence questions when we get into situations out on the field or in practice, so you know he’s well engaged. He’s just been a tremendous asset to our program.” In Utah State’s road game at Utah on Sept. 11, Galea’i had a career-high tying two tackles on special teams. “It was really fun and a memorable moment,” Galea’i said. “I love this program. The coaches have given me this opportunity and I just want to show my thanks by my play on the field.” He gets it done in the classroom, as well. After all, the health science major, who is on track to graduate in the spring of 2016, earned academic all-Mountain West honors a year ago. “Football is not everything,” said Galea’i, who wants to be a physician’s assistant. “There will be a time when football us going to stop.”

MARK HUTCHINSON Mark Hutchinson does not know when his number will be called. Or if it will ever be called. But if it does, you can rest assured he will be ready. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound senior from Corona, Calif., serves as Utah State’s backup long snapper. It’s a position he’s held since walking on in 2011, when he redshirted his first season with the Aggies. “I don’t know when I’m going to get a rep, don’t know when I’m going to be able to go in the game,” Hutchinson said. “I’ve just got to always be ready. You never know when it’s going to happen.” Having never played a snap in college, Hutchinson admits it’s tough, but he appreciates being a part of this program. “It’s a brotherhood,” Hutchinson said. “We’re all close and it’s been a real honor to be on this team the past five years and seeing what everyone has accomplished.” Hutchinson backs up fellow senior Salanoa Galea’i. Three of his best qualities as a long snapper is he has good velocity, is very accurate and reliable. “The biggest thing for me with Mark is reliability and trust,” Utah State special teams coordinator/running backs coach Dave Ungerer said. “He’s the kind of guy we can’t do without, even though he hasn’t played a snap yet. When and if he ever does get in a game, it would be very important to us, so we have to really believe that if something happened to Salanoa that we could go on without a hitch in something that is very critical for us. “It’s kind of like being the backup quarterback,” Ungerer continued. “It’s such a critical position, but you don’t get the reps the same as a starter does, you don’t get the accolades or the playing time, but your role is gigantic.” Galea’i knows how important Hutchinson is to the success of the team, even if it doesn’t show up in a box score or the headlines. “He’s ready when you need him and he’ll always be on call,” Galea’i said. “He’s somebody who is really reliable.” Ungerer continued to rave about Hutchinson’s reliability and dedication to working hard every single day in practice. “He goes out there every day and practices hard, and is ready to go in there,” Ungerer said. “He understands his role and that he can be in there in the blink of an eye. He’s got to be ready to go, and be ready to go in a crucial scenario like a gamewinning field goal. He needs to be consistent each and every day so that when he does get his reps in practice, he’s executing at a high level. “There is a difference between him and Salanoa. It’s not a lot, but there is a difference. It’s not like we haven’t talked about it or he hasn’t seen it. We chart the snappers, we chart their accuracy and we chart their times, so there is data there that he can look at. In that, he still works on a daily basis and to me, that’s a tremendous attribute.” Hutchinson’s hard work during his time at Utah State certainly has not gone unnoticed. After all, head coach Matt Wells awarded him a scholarship following a recent practice. “I was ecstatic,” Hutchinson said. “It was awesome. I immediately wanted to tell my parents so they knew.” Ungerer was thrilled for Hutchinson. “That is very typical of Utah State and the type of program we are, and how coach Wells does things,” Ungerer said. “Mark has done everything we’ve asked for a long time. He doesn’t say a word and just keeps grinding. It’s a tremendous attribute of his and I’m glad he got the reward for it. It’s something he’ll never forget.” The son of Ed and Nancy Hutchinson was a three-year letterwinner at Santiago High School in Corona, Calif., as both a linebacker and long snapper. He was tabbed the Sharks’ special teams MVP. Hutchinson, who enjoys golfing in his spare time, is majoring in sociology with a criminal justice minor. He is on track to graduate in December and wants to pursue a career in law enforcement.

SENIOR CORNERBACKS HOPE TO BRING UTAH STATE A MOUNTAIN WEST TITLE by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations

® DESHANE HINES Deshane Hines couldn’t wait to get back on the field. After suffering an injury in the season opener against Southern Utah on Sept. 3, Hines was forced to miss Utah State’s second game of the season against Utah. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound senior cornerback from Fremont, Calif., doesn’t ever want to go through something like that again. “It was really frustrating,” Hines said. “When I went down I was just like, ‘I’ve been waiting so long for this season and preparing.’ I was praying it wouldn’t keep me out for a long time. I realized how much football meant to me and how I need to be on the field. It hurt me when I couldn’t play in the Utah game. I wanted to help the team win and to not be able to contribute was tough.” Fortunately for Hines and the Aggies, he was back on the field in Week 3 at Washington. The son of Carnedius and Sharon Hines recorded a career-high seven tackles and forced his first career fumble against the Huskies. “He’s a young man with a lot of football savvy,” Utah State cornerbacks coach/defensive passing game coordinator Kendrick Shaver said. “He brings leadership to the back end and he is my best technician back there. His football IQ is second to none in my room. I can’t say enough about him. He’s a great young man. He’s no maintenance. You talk about low maintenance, but he’s no maintenance. You don’t have to worry about him being on time for anything and he’s taking care of his schooling. He’s going to graduate in December.” Bryant Hayes, a close friend and teammate of Hines, is another Aggie who has had to miss playing time during his senior campaign. The 5-9, 175-pound cornerback from Compton, Calif., was suspended the first two games of the season and did not play against Washington. “It hurts,” admitted Bryant, when asked about not being able to get on the field yet. “When I got the news about being suspended, it hurt. But, that made me realize how much football means to me, rather than other things. I love football and not being on the field with my brothers and teammates hurts. I won’t do anything else to jeopardize my playing time because I let my teammates down. It was a big learning process.” Hines and Hayes formed a close bond when they were teammates at the College of San Mateo (Calif.), helping the Bulldogs to a 10-1 record and No. 6 national ranking during their sophomore campaigns in 2013. Hayes led the College of San Mateo with four interceptions that season, to go along with 17 tackles, while Hines recorded 34 tackles and four pass breakups. “You see him on the field and he’s all over the place,” Hines says of Hayes. “He’s quick. He’s like a little rabbit everywhere and covers guys up. I remember at

aggie football 2015

BRYANT HAYES San Mateo, nobody was ever able to catch a ball on him and that has carried over to Utah State. When he comes back, you’re going to feel his presence.” Shaver agreed. “When we recruited B.J., we had in mind a certain type of player to recruit, a young man that could come in and play our nickel spot and a young man that could come in and match up against smaller receivers on the inside,” Shaver said. “We went out with strict marching orders to go find a guy like that. He matched the mold and was playing the nickel spot at his junior college. He had the feet, he had the quickness and the twitch. He’s another young man that has a very high football IQ. He brings that unique specialization to the nickel spot.” Coming out of the College of San Mateo, Hines was the first to sign with the Aggies. Not long after, Hayes joined his good friend in Logan, Utah. “When I came on my recruiting trip, the first thing I thought was it’s way too cold for me, being from SoCal,” Hayes said. “Daniel Gray was my host and we went bowling and to a basketball game. They showed me a good time, so when I got here, I was just looking at everybody and thought, ‘These are players I can play with.’ It’s a family here, so that’s what made me come here.” Both players are glad the other one is also at Utah State. “When we came here we moved in together and we were able to learn the plays together and do everything together,” Hines said. “It’s easier when you have somebody else with you going through this process; you don’t get as lonely.” Added Hayes: “I can talk to Deshane about anything. If I’m homesick or whatever, I always have somebody to talk to because Deshane is like my brother and we’ve been together for a while.” During his junior season with the Aggies in 2014, Hayes started three of the 12 games he played in. The son of Bryant Hayes and Carla Moore recorded 20 tackles, including 6.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks, and five pass breakups. “The first game against Tennessee (in 2014), I got hurt,” Hayes explained. “I messed up my hamstring and I missed a couple of games because of that, but when I

got back on the field I did anything I could to help the team. Whatever I could do to help the team, I did it. I stayed focused and didn’t get down or anything.” Hines played in all 14 games for Utah State last season and made his first career start against UTEP in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, where he tallied six tackles in the Aggies’ 21-6 victory. The native of Fremont, Calif., finished the year with 20 tackles and ranked tied for second on the team with two interceptions, to go along with a pass breakup. “It’s been a learning process for me coming from junior college to this next level,” Hines said. “My first year I came in trying to learn things, trying to make any impact I could with the team on special teams and eventually on defense. I’ve just been grinding and trying to help the team as much as possible, trying to make the most out of my time here.” Hines and Hayes helped Utah State’s defense rank among the top 30 in the nation in 10 categories last season, including ranking 12th in scoring defense at 19.7 points per game. The Aggies also ranked fourth nationally in both sacks (3.57 per game) and tackles for loss (8.1 pg), eighth in passes intercepted (19), ninth in defensive touchdowns (5), 11th in turnovers forced (30), 17th in passing efficiency defense (111.42), 24th in rushing defense (130.7 ypg), 25th in opponent third-down conversion percentage (.358) and 30th in total defense (356.1 ypg). Not only did Hines produce on the field for the Aggies during his junior campaign, but he also excelled in the classroom as he earned academic all-Mountain West and MW Scholar-Athlete honors. In their final seasons with the Aggies, Hayes and Hines, who are both majoring in sociology, want nothing more than to help Utah State win a title. “I just want to win the Mountain West championship,” Hines said. “I just want to do whatever I can to help the team win.” Added Hayes: “The all-around goal is to win the Mountain West. We also have a goal to be the best corner group in the Mountain West.” Both players have aspirations of making it to the next level. “Hopefully, I can get into a camp, whether I’m drafted or undrafted, and try to make some noice,” Hines said. “If that doesn’t work out, I’ll have my degree.” Hayes agreed. “The guys who came before us showed us that you can do it,” he said. “If it doesn’t work out, then I’ll look forward to starting my master’s program somewhere.” Hines is on track to graduate in December, while Hayes will graduate with his degree in the spring of 2016.
