SENIOR FEATURE CAMERON HANEY

CORNERBACK EXEMPLIFIES TRUE MEANING OF A BLUE-COLLAR FOOTBALL PLAYER

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Utah State’s football program has a wellknown reputation for being a hard-working and blue-collar team.

Both on and off the field.

“This school is meant for you to work hard so you can be successful,” said senior cornerback Cameron Haney. “We are a blue-collar program, and I live by that.”

Haney certainly does.

Both on and off the field.

Haney missed the first two games of his senior season due to injury, but has been a key member of the defense since returning. Haney has recorded 12 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks, and a team-best seven pass breakups in just three contests.

In the Aggies’ last outing at No. 5 LSU, Haney intercepted his first-career pass, returning it 19 yards to set up a field goal by senior placekicker Dominik Eberle.

“He has had a major impact for us,” said first-year Utah State cornerbacks coach Mark Orphey. “One of the best things about Cam is he’s been productive, and it has been huge for us to get him back. He’s now fully healthy, and in these past three games, he’s been very productive for us, and that’s just a credit to him and how hard he’s worked. The thing about Cam is he’ll do exactly what he’s coached to do. He doesn’t try to press or try to go over and beyond.

He lets the plays come to him, and it’s been big.

“It was good for him to get his first-career interception against LSU. I didn’t even realize that was his first one, so I’ve just been really impressed with him ever since I got here. We’ve just got to keep him healthy and keep him moving along, and he’s got to make sure he does a good job of leading with all those younger guys that are behind him.”

Off the field, though, Haney maintains his hard-working blue-collar mentality. The son of Karen Morgan is the founder of a non-profit organization based out of his home city of Los Angeles, Calif., where he looks to guide innercity kids to give them the tools and resources they need in order to exploit their talents.

“Basically, we target young children and teenagers, and I track their academic success over a six-month period,” Haney explained even further.

“In tracking that, I take data and I collect data, and then when the six-month period is over, I have a conversation with the teenager or youth, and help

8

UTAH STATE

them with the resources and materials that they need to succeed. I’m also working with the city with the building and development of schools.”

Haney began the non-profit organization this past summer.

“My mom told me, ‘I feel like you’re a prominent figure in our community, so why not help build it?’”

“I just found out about his non-profit organization a couple of months ago, and when he told me, I was like, ‘Let me know if there is anything I need to do to help you, because I think that is awesome,’ especially coming from where he’s from,” Orphey said.

Coming out of Cathedral High School in Los Angeles, Haney was highly sought after. Besides Utah State, he entertained offers from Washington, Washington State, Arizona State and Colorado, as well as Boise State and Louisville.

But there was something about the Aggies and Cache Valley that reminded Haney of home.

“You just had to work and grind at my high school, so I saw that correlation between Cathedral and Utah State, where I could work and grind without any distractions,” Haney said.

“That attracted my eye, as well as the family atmosphere. I just gravitated toward that and chose Utah State. I didn’t focus on all the big glitz and glamour, and everything like that, so that’s why I chose the Aggies.”

The decision to become an Aggie has been very beneficial to both parties involved.

After redshirting in 2015, Haney played in 37 of 38 games with 10 starts heading into the 2019 campaign. As a junior in 2018, he recorded 26 tackles and seven pass breakups. Through the first three games of this year, he has already matched the seven PBUs from a year ago.

Haney’s play on the field and his demeanor off of it are two big reasons why he is a good leader for the cornerbacks.

“The thing about Cam, is when he wasn’t playing, he stayed locked in mentally,” Orphey said. “I always made sure to tell him, ‘You’ve been here a long time and you’ve played a lot of ball, so you know how things are supposed to be. You know when something isn’t right, so make sure you speak up, because this is your senior year, so how this season goes is truly on you.’ He’s just done a good job with that, and the good thing is those guys listen to him. He can fit in with any personality, so he gels with anybody on the team, and that is always big.

“He kind of rallies this goes,” Orphey continued, “and gives them tips here and there.

I’m just excited for him. I think this is only the beginning and he’s going to continue to get more productive as the season goes on.”

Which is exactly what the Aggies need in their quest to capture the Mountain Division title and subsequent Mountain West championship.

Utah State is currently 2-0 in the conference heading into its showdown with Nevada.

In the Aggies’ Mountain West opener at San Diego State, a 23-17 victory for USU, the 5-foot10, 185-pound Haney had four tackles and a career-high-tying three pass breakups.

“That was a pretty big game for me, just because my family was able to go, including both of my grandfathers, and some family members that had never seen me play football ever,” Haney said.

“I was just rehabbing, rehabbing and rehabbing, and then I just went out there and gave it my best.”

Haney, who is majoring in integrated studies, is on track to graduate in December. He would love nothing more than to get a shot at playing at the next level, but if that doesn’t pan out, Haney has back-up plans.

“My plan is to train as hard as I can and see if I can get a shot at the next level, and if that doesn’t work out, then I am going to gravitate toward collegiate football coaching.” Haney said. “And then, I’ll still have my hands in my non-profit organization.”

Outside of football and schooling, Haney enjoys drawing, reading, cooking and dabbling in the stock market.

“My time at Utah State has been great, and I have loved it,” said Haney, who has 20 tattoos and is widely considered the funniest player on the team. “A lot of people do think I’m funny. I’ve always been funny, but I’ve always been myself, and I think a lot of people gravitate toward that. I’m real animated, so I’m going to be animated until I’m old.

“I always just bring high spirits wherever I’m at.”

Which suits Orphey and the Aggies just fine.

“I love who he is and I love his work ethic,” Orphey said. “He comes to work every day.

I have to tell him to slow down sometimes, because he won’t ever complain, and that’s what I enjoy the most about Cam Haney. I try to stress to these young cats to pick his brain as much as they can while he’s here, because he has a lot of knowledge, and he knows how to do certain things, and it’s been good.”

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).

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

NOELLE E. COCKETT Montana State, 1980 January, 2017 - Present (Third Year)

Noelle E. Cockett was appointed as Utah State University’s 16th President in October 2016, beginning her official tenure in January 2017. She is USU’s first female president and the only female president with Utah’s higher education system.

Since becoming president, Cockett has worked to improve the mission and vision of the university where the outstanding scholars, educators, and students, collectively embody a tradition of greatness.

It is a great time to be an Aggie. In national rankings, the university continues to gain ground. 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.

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 CHRISTOPHER ’UNGA

DEFENSIVE TACKLE BRINGS PASSION, ENERGY TO USU EVERY SINGLE GAME DAY

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations It’s a ritual that has become a common occurrence prior to every Utah State football game – home or away.

Known as the Sipi Tau, a Tongan war dance that lays down the challenge to the opposition before battle, the Aggies can be seen performing the pregame ritual, which is full of emotion. For the past two years, senior defensive tackle Christopher ’Unga has led Utah State in the war dance.

“It is just a call out for battle,” ’Unga said.

“I’m asking the team if they are ready to go to war and if they have my back, like I’ve got their backs, and we’re ready to do it.”

The chant doesn’t change from game to game.

Translated, ’Unga begins by asking the Aggies if they are ready for war. They respond back that they are ready. The last thing the 6-foot, 295-pounder tells his team is that they are ready for war.

“It’s something that they’ve been doing even before I got here,” ’Unga said. “My first two years, the chant was actually in Samoan, but previously it had been done in Tongan, too. Last year, I wanted to switch it up and get it to Tongan.” ’Unga admitted being the leader of the Aggies’ Sipi Tau wasn’t easy at first.

“I’m not really the type of guy that likes to get all riled up and be the center of attention, but coach (Frank) Maile asked me to do it. I got used to it, and I love it, because the guys love it.”

Yes, they do.

“Chris is a natural born leader,” said USU grad student defensive end Jacoby Wildman.

“He is someone that I would fight through fire and hell with. Seeing him out there and seeing the passion that he has when he does the chant, it just gets the fire going inside.”

Fifth-year Utah State head coach Gary Andersen has been impressed with ’Unga’s leadership.

UTAH STATE

“Chris has been a great leader, not just for the Polynesian kids and the defensive line, but for the entire football team,” Andersen said. “He and Devon (Anderson) kind of hold the D-line to a high standard and a high work ethic. There is no question about that, and that has been good for both of those kids.”

Andersen especially appreciates ’Unga’s role within Utah State’s Polynesian culture.

“Especially here at Utah State with the high number of Polynesian players, there is a big investment and a big care-factor for those older kids to show the younger Polynesian kids what this program is about, what the Polynesian culture means to this program and how they’re expected to represent themselves and carry themselves.

“Chris was a young player a few years ago, and now he’s the elder statesman, if you will, in that situation, so he has great respect for Utah State and its Polynesian culture that has been going on here for a while now. He wants it to continue in the right way, so he takes care of it. As the older player, he does a great job carrying on that culture, the tradition and the expectations, so it pushes the young kids to understand what it is so when he’s gone, that legacy will continue.”

After redshirting his first season at Utah State in 2015, ’Unga has played in 33 career games, recording 94 tackles, including 8.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups and one quarterback hurry.

“Chris has been a really good football player here for a number of years,” Andersen said.

“He’s battled through injuries, and with some of the injuries that he’s had and some scenarios that he’s gone through in his career, he’s really such a great voice for the young kids. But, he does hold them to a high level of accountability, and if there is an issue, he’s going to address it as a team leader. He is a great kid off the field.

Obviously, he is going to be highly successful, and when he is done, he is going to graduate,

and he will be ready to move on in life and be highly successful.”

But before that, ’Unga wants to help lead the Aggies to their first-ever Mountain West championship in football.

“I envision confetti falling on the U-State logo on midfield and we are holding up the Mountain West championship trophy,” ’Unga said.

In order to make that celebration happen, ’Unga knows exactly what the Aggies need to do.

“We just have to continue to work hard,” he said.

“We’ve got the mentality for it, but we just have to keep coming out every day trying to get better.”

Through the first five games of the season, ’Unga has tallied 11 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks. He also has one pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.

The native of Rochester, Calif., is majoring in sociology with a minor in criminal justice. He is on track to graduate this December. Once his Aggie career is over, ’Unga wants to continue playing at the next level, but if that doesn’t pan out, he’ll look to put on a different type of uniform.

“I’m going to shoot for the league and see what it has to offer,” ’Unga said. “If that doesn’t pan out, I’m hoping to join the police force and wear a badge for a little bit. We will see what my options are, but I’ve got a brother and a few cousins who are correction officers in Arizona and California, so we’ll see if I want to go into corrections, or if I just want to be a police officer and patrol the streets.”

When he is not focused on football or school, ’Unga enjoys spending time with his family, especially his nieces and nephews.

“I love this place,” ’Unga said of Utah State.

“Being an Aggie is something I will always hold close to my heart. This place helped mature me into the man I am.”

SENIOR FEATURE DEVON ANDERSON

BALTIMORE NATIVE BRINGS SMILES, LAUGHTER AND HARD WORK TO D-LINE GROUP

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations When Devon Anderson landed at Salt Lake International Airport on his recruiting visit to Utah State and saw the mountains for the first time, he was in awe.

“I was like, ‘Oh, my God. This is so beautiful,’” Anderson recalled. “Just the scenery in general caught my eye as I was driving up toward the canyon. Everything was so beautiful.”

The beauty of Cache Valley, along with the family atmosphere, were two big reasons why Anderson chose to become an Aggie.

“On my official visit, it just felt like family, and that’s what I was looking for coming out of junior college – finding something that was family oriented for me,” Anderson said.

Anderson admitted he was hesitant about taking an official visit to Utah State, but his coaches at Dodge City (Kan.) Community College urged him to make the trip.

It’s a decision he does not regret. Not in the least bit.

“My coaches at my junior college kept telling me, ‘Hey, just get out of Kansas for one more weekend. It’s not going to hurt you, just go out there and have fun. You never know what could happen,’” Anderson recalled. “Throughout the years that I’ve been here, it just made me fall in love so much more. Being around people that treat you like family, and being out in public, everybody still treats you like family, so there’s nothing to switch off for me.

“I value every day that I have been here,” Anderson continued. “What it means to be an Aggie, is being a hard worker. You put your hard hat on every day, because every day is not going to be easy, nor is it going to be hard. For me, it was just go to work every day, but have fun and always smile.”

Smiling comes natural to Anderson, who recorded 27 tackles, including 13.0 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, as a freshman at Dodge City CC. “He is just a great young man,” said first-year USU defensive ends coach Bojay Filimoeatu. “He’s respectful and does everything right. He works hard in the classroom, as well as on and off the field. He is just a good guy you want to be around. He is funny and talks a lot of smack with everybody, which is great. There are great vibes in that D-line room, especially with Devon. He is very funny.”

Since arriving at Utah State, Anderson has appeared in 30 of a possible 31 games, recording 80 tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He has also forced two fumbles, recovered two fumbles and had two quarterback hurries.

“Devon is an athlete,” Filimoeatu said. “For being that big and handling the inside, the three techniques, two high and zero, he’s just really athletic for being that type of dude, and for being that heavy, as well. You can see it right away in his pass rush and when he’s working his technique right and knocking back people, in the run game and controlling the line of scrimmage.

It is hard to do.

“When you’re a big man and you weight that much, he’s just a pure athlete, and you see it every day.”

The 6-foot-1, 295-pound native of Baltimore, Md., had numerous offers coming out of Dodge City CC, including Arkansas State, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Toledo and UNC-Charlotte.

Through the first five games of his senior season at Utah State, Anderson has tallied 14 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss, and two quarterback hurries.

In the Aggies’ 34-24 Homecoming victory over Colorado State on Sept. 28, at Maverik Stadium, Anderson had four tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss. Filimoeatu was very impressed with his big guy’s performance in that game.

“Devon is a special player,” Filimoeatu said.

“Obviously, you can put on the Colorado State film and see his technique and his fundamentals coming into play, but also, just the pure effort of getting to the ball and getting off blocks. He basically handled the inside for us, so we took away the run game from them just off of one guy.

He makes the guys around him better.”

The son of Charles Turner and Chandra Dawn Anderson, who is majoring in interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis in social work and business, is on track to graduate in December.

He is also working on getting a minor in sociology.

Anderson would love a shot at playing at the next level, but knows that opportunity may not present itself.

Regardless of what happens after Anderson’s time at Utah State, one thing is certain: he has been a great teammate and leader.

“He is a good guy, and a good role model for the younger guys to look at,” Filimoeatu said. “He is hard-working, and he busted his tail off during the offseason to get way better. He trimmed up and got a lot stronger, and you can see all of it paying off now during the season. Talking about the leadership standpoint, he and Chris (’Unga) do a great job with the D-line, and communicating to the young fellas to do what is right.”

Before Anderson hangs his cleats up at Utah State, he would love nothing more than to bring the Aggies their first-ever Mountain West championship in football.

“Our fans have so much pride, they are loving and caring,” Anderson said. “They hate when we lose, and we hate when we lose, so going out the best way for me would be to go out with a bang and bring the championship to Logan.”

Outside of football and schooling, Anderson enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, Maizee Thompson, and his dog, a Siberian Husky named Stormie, and watching Anime.

“I love Anime,” Anderson said. “It’s something that I pride myself in, and I keep up with it daily.

I watch it in Japanese and it’s something that catches my eye every time. I’m always ready for a new episode. I binge watch it. When I get home, I do my homework, spend time with Maizee and then I go straight to Anime.”

As good of a football player Anderson has been throughout his career, especially for Utah State, he might be an even better wrestler.

“I really wanted to wrestle more than I wanted to play football, but I was offered a scholarship in football, so I went that route,” Anderson said.

“Wrestling in high school was something I enjoyed. I placed third in the state of Maryland at 225 pounds. Overall, I finished 73-10, or something like that.”

Anderson was wrestling in the heavyweight division at first, but had to drop 50 pounds to 225 due to a state champion transfer joining his team at Overlea High School in Baltimore.

“If I wanted to wrestle, I had to lose 50 pounds,” Anderson said. “My coach woke me up every day to run. I had trash bags on going to class and every time I got my break, we were training in the wrestling room at 110 degrees.”

How does Anderson want Aggie fans to remember him by?

“Cheerful,” he said. “I love Utah State to the fullest, and I feel I always brought joy everywhere I went. I am always positive and always smiling.

I just love Utah State and the city of Logan, in general, because it brought me the opportunity to get out of a bad place back home. Nothing against going back home or living there, but it gave me the opportunity to better myself not only as a football player, but as a person and as a student.”
