by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Former Utah State placekicker Brad Bohn has a vision of how he would like Dominik Eberle to break his career field goals record.

“They say records are meant to be broken,” Bohn said. “Watching Dom reach his potential in an Aggie uniform has been tremendous to see. He really deserves all the accolades he receives. He has broken just about every record that I had the good fortune to set almost 20 years ago. Next up is the most meaningful of them all, the career field goals record, which demonstrates longevity and consistency. My vision is that he connects on his 60th career field goal to beat Boise State and send the Aggies to the Mountain West championship game.”

Eberle connected on three field goals last weekend, including a 30-yarder as time expired, to lift Utah State to a thrilling 37-35 win at Fresno State, keeping the Aggies’ hopes alive of reaching the Mountain West title game.

It marked the first time since 1998 that Utah State kicked a field goal to win the game. The last person to do it? Bohn. Just like his pupil, he drilled a 30-yarder with five seconds left as the Aggies edged North Texas 28-27.

Prior to his senior season at Redondo Union High School in Redondo Beach, Calif., Eberle attended a training session at the West Coast Kicking Academy, which was founded 17 years ago by Bohn.

Since that time, the two have formed a working relationship that continues today.

“Dom is a tremendous young man both on and off the field,” Bohn said. “He is a great teammate and tremendously humble. He is everything a coach would want in a student-athlete. He is self-motivated, positive and unselfish. He also possesses a healthy chip on his shoulder, which gives him the passion to become better each day. I take great pride in not only being able to help him on his athletic journey, but it means even more that we could send him to Utah State for his collegiate career. My experience at USU was extremely meaningful and laid the groundwork for where I am today. I’m happy Dom gets to have a similar experience.”

Bohn recalls the day he first met Eberle.

“Dom was a tall and lanky 17-year-old when we met, but he already possessed a strong leg,” Bohn said. “We focused mainly on trying to develop his technique to become repeatable and consistent. I would tell him, ‘No one cares if you can kick a ball 60 yards if you can’t kick it straight. Coaches want to see your consistency.’ He has been determined the last four years to develop into a reliable placekicker and his stats demonstrate his discipline and hard work.”

Eberle has embraced the moment ever since he walked on campus at Utah State. The easy going native of Nuremberg, Germany, didn’t even start playing football until his freshman year of high school, but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of the greatest kickers USU has ever seen.

“I fell in love with Utah State the moment that I got here,” Eberle said. “Having all my friends on the team take me in the way they did, especially the older guys when I first got here, and then continuously growing those relationships with some friends that I made here that are now going to be lifelong friends, that really helped me get to where I am today. I wouldn’t be here without them.”

In a span of nine days, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 5, Eberle was nominated for three postseason awards: the 2019 Wuerffel Trophy, the national college football award recognizing community service; the Senior CLASS Award – to be eligible, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition; and finally, the Burlsworth Trophy, which is given to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on and has shown outstanding performance on the field.

None of that surprises Utah State special teams coordinator/running backs coach Stacy Collins, though. In fact, he always knew there was something special about Eberle, who walked on at Utah State prior to the start of the 2015 season, his redshirt year.

“He had a competitiveness to him and an ability to him that’s unique,” Collins said. “He was a little immature at that time, and he’d be the first to tell you that, but he matured fast, and once he got over that, once he got frustrated with things when he’d miss a kick and that, he became extremely rock solid. He’s unflappable right now, and nothing bothers him. If things don’t go right, he moves on to the next play.

That attests to the kind of person and player he is.”

Since taking over the placekicking duties for the Aggies as a sophomore in 2017, the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder has racked up the accolades and records. Earlier this year, he became Utah State’s record holder for most points scored in a career (currently at 323), surpassing the previous mark of 308 set by former running back Robert Turbin.

“Robert Turbin is one of the all-time greats, and he was a standard of excellence,” Eberle said.

“Turbin, and then on the defensive side, Bobby Wagner and Merlin Olsen, you have all these great guys, and even just having a record and being neckand-neck with those guys means a lot. It is surreal. I try not to focus so much on those things, but when (long snapper) Brandon Pada came up to me after I made the PAT against BYU to set the record, and

he was just jumping on me, that’s when I really was embracing the moment, and I truly enjoyed it.”

Eberle is a perfect 152-of-152 on extra points made and attempted, both of which are school records. Furthermore, the 152 consecutive extra points made is a school record.

During the 2018 campaign, Eberle set singleseason school records for extra points made (75) and attempted (75), points scored (141), and points per game (10.8). He also tied for first in field goals attempted (28), joining Bohn, who first accomplished the feat in 1998.

In Utah State’s 60-13 win over New Mexico State last season, Eberle tied two NCAA records for points scored by a kicker with 24 and kicking three 50-plus-yard field goals – he had three 51-yarders against NMSU. Furthermore, Eberle set USU and Mountain West records with his six made field goals against the southern Aggies, while his six attempts tied his own school record previously set in 2017.

His six made field goals (44, 32, 51, 21, 51 and 51) are tied for the third-most in a single game in NCAA history.

“From a performance standpoint, he’s been unbelievable from putting points on the board in field goal situations and what not, but his leadership and his competitiveness is not only valuable for the team, but it’s been valuable for the young specialists we have going through it with him,” Collins said. “All the way around, he’s what you want an Aggie to be.

He does everything right, both on and off the field.”

The son of Güenther Eberle and Carmen Romero-Eberle, who is majoring in both international business and marketing, is on track to graduate this December. After that, he plans on pursuing a career in the NFL. “He’s an extremely good student and he’ll be extremely successful in life with whatever he wants to do,” Collins said. “He’s a great person both on and off the field.”

When his football career is over, Eberle wants to remain involved in sports.

“Ideally, I would want to work with a sports franchise, whether in Germany, England or here in the US with an NFL or hockey team,” said Eberle, who is fluent in three languages – English, German and Spanish. “Ideally, I want to be in a marketing department, and I just love being around the whole competition side of things.”

How does Eberle want Aggie fans to remember him by?

“Just the guy that’s active in the community,” he said. “It’s easy to remember one by how they play on the field, but I feel like my work in the community, especially with the kids that are going to be here in Logan and are going to be around for the next generation, I feel like I put myself in positions where I’m around them a lot, where I can make them smile even for giving them my cleats or giving them a pair of gloves, and then just volunteering and community service. I feel like that’s something I want to be remembered by before all the football accolades.”

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. 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. She joined Utah

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 GEROLD BRIGHT

PLAYER FEATURE

RUNNING BACK A VALUABLE WEAPON NO MATTER WHERE HE IS ON THE FIELD

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Coming out of Escambia High School in Pensacola, Fla., Gerold Bright had numerous opportunities on the table to continue his football career at the next level.

The final offer he got, he took.

“Utah State was my 30th offer,” Bright said.

“I was actually considering another school before I got this offer, and I just chose to come here.

I don’t really have any idea why, but I chose to come here.”

The transition from the Sunshine State to Utah, whose license plate is marked with a skier and the slogan ‘The Greatest Snow on Earth,’ was not easy for Bright, but he has grown to love it here.

“I didn’t like it here at first, but then it got better because I started going outside and being more active, going camping or to lakes – stuff like that,” Bright said. “I’ll say my time here has been a progression. It started out bad, but it progressed for the better, and I really like it here.”

Moving to Cache Valley certainly was a big culture shock for Bright.

“It was just weird at first,” Bright said.

“Everything is closed on Sunday and I actually have a funny story about that. I was a freshman, and I was living in the freshman dorms, and I asked this girl, ‘Hey, can you take me to Walmart on Sunday because there is no food, so I’m trying to go grocery shopping?’ She said, ‘No, I can’t do anything on Sundays,’ and I’m like, ‘Why? What do you mean?’ She said, ‘That’s just a part of what I do and my religion. We can’t do things on Sunday.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? You can’t take me to Walmart?’ She was like, ‘No, I can’t even get gas.’ I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh.’ So, that was crazy.”

Bright, who redshirted his first season at Utah State in 2015, began his Aggie career as a slot receiver – a position he wasn’t too fond of.

“I didn’t like it and I always told the coaches, ‘Put me at running back, put me at running back,

UTAH STATE

put me at running back,’” Bright said. “They said, ‘No, you’re playing receiver.’ I was like, ‘Alright, I’ll play receiver. I can run good routes, but I don’t have elite receiver hands, so why am I out here?’”

Utah State special teams coordinator/running backs coach had the answer to that question.

“He was a little bit smaller, and he had good speed, and to be honest, he kept smoking us when we were coaching defense,” Collins said.

“We were going, ‘We’ve got to get the ball in this guy’s hands.’”

Which is exactly what the Aggie coaches did.

After his redshirt year, Bright spent the next two seasons playing in the slot, and as a running back at times. It wasn’t until his junior season in 2018 that Bright moved to the backfield for good.

“It’s been a good transition because you want that balance at running back,” Collins said. “You want that speed back and that little bit more of a physical back, and those type of punches together help a lot.”

As a junior in 2018, Bright split reps at running back with fellow junior Darwin Thompson, who is now playing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Bright rushed for 888 yards and 10 touchdowns on 141 carries last year, to go along with 22 catches for 232 yards and three more scores.

Bright averaged 6.3 yards per carry during the 2018 season, which proved to be the sixth-best yards per carry average in school history.

Nine games through his senior campaign, the 5-foot-10, 190-pounder leads the Aggies in rushing with 614 yards and six touchdowns on 115 carries.

“He found a home at running back,” Collins said. “Fortunately, I’ve had the chance to watch him grow and develop. This is the first year I’ve actually coached him within a position group, but to grow and mature, he’s a coach in that room with us, he’s working with those guys, he’s extremely competitive and he’s a great player maker. He’s an explosive playmaker and I have enjoyed watching Gerold develop into the running back he is today from his time being on scout team and as a slot receiver.”

Bright currently ranks 12th all-time in USU

history in career rushing yards with 1,838. With 162 more yards, he will become just the 10th Aggie to eclipse the 2,000-yard plateau.

Besides catching passes and racking up the yards on the ground, Bright has also played a valuable role on special teams for the Aggies.

During his career at USU, he has returned 16 kickoffs for 303 yards (18.9 ypr).

The son of Timothy Bright and Chandra Gorham is the type of person who can light up a room with his wide grin and unique sense of humor.

“I smile regardless of my circumstances,” he said. “I’ll just put it that way. You’ll never know what I’m going through because I won’t show you. I just like to smile and be happy, because you live longer when you smile.”

Bright, a kinesiology major on track to graduate this December, is the proud parent of a 2-year-old son named Baylor, who lives with his mom in California.

“I talk to him every day and every night on the phone on FaceTime,” Bright said. “He’s funny as heck; he’s super funny. He’s always smiling and jumping around, which makes me happy.”

Not only has Bright excelled on the gridiron, but he’s a pretty good musician, too. He can play the piano by ear and can sing, but coming from the musical background he does, that is not a big surprise.

“My little brother plays the drums, and he is self-taught,” Bright explained. “My mom is a singer, too, so musicians run in the family. My granddad had a band.”

Added Collins: “He has a lot of great attributes, but his greatest attribute is just who he is as a person, how he handles himself day to day, the leadership he shows, and his competitiveness – all those things factor into it.”

PUNTER DOING WHATEVER HE CAN IN FINAL SEASON TO HELP AGGIES BE SUCCESSFUL

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Aaron Dalton’s official debut as a member of Utah State’s football team is one he certainly will not forget.

How could he? After all, he was called upon to punt 13 times for 463 yards (35.6 yards per punt) as a redshirt freshman against Southern Utah on Sept. 3, 2015. Those 13 punts proved to be the second-most in both Utah State and Mountain West history, but a freshman record in both school and league history.

“Going out, I thought I was mentally prepared for my first game and to punt 13 times is definitely something I did not expect to do,” Dalton, now in his redshirt senior season with the Aggies, recalled.

“I don’t think I have ever hit a set of 13 balls in one practice, so that was definitely not something I was used to, but it was a good way to break it in.”

In the nail-biting 12-9 victory over the Thunderbirds, Dalton had a long of 48 yards and three of his punts were inside the 20 – a sign of things to come for the native of Bountiful, Utah, and the Aggies.

Dalton has appeared in 47 games, punting 217 times for 8,788 yards (40.5 yards per punt). He has recorded 27 punts of 50 yards or more, including a long of 69. A whopping 73 of his punts have been inside the 20-yard-line, which is a school record.

“To play college football, it doesn’t matter what position you play or where you are at, you always want to try and leave something behind and set some sort of record, so it’s definitely something that I have always thought about,” Dalton said. “It is something that I’m going to leave behind, which is cool. It shows that you came and did what you were supposed to do, and you had a successful career.”

Not only did the start of Dalton’s redshirt freshman campaign begin with a bang, it also ended with one.

In Utah State’s game against Akron in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Dalton booted a career-long and bowl-record 69-yarder.

“Aaron is a dependable guy,” said Utah State special teams coordinator/running backs coach Stacy Collins. “Your best quality, a lot of times, is your dependability, and he certainly has that in all phases, both on and off the field. He’s got a maturity factor with him, and the way he handles himself, the way he goes to work every day on and off the field is first class. That makes my job easy.”

Dalton received a medical redshirt in 2018 after missing the entire season due to injury. In the Aggies’ season opener at Wake Forest this year, Dalton punted seven times for 273 yards, including a long of 49.

Unfortunately for Dalton, he re-injured himself in that game and hasn’t been able to punt since. That hasn’t kept him from the field, though, as he has served as the Aggies’ holder.

“He is a tremendous leader and always wants to do his job 100 percent,” said USU senior placekicker Dominik Eberle. “He wants nothing more than for the team to be successful and contributes in every way he can.”

Junior long snapper Brandon Pada agreed.

“Aaron is the veteran leader of the specialist group. He embodies what it means to be a leader.

He’s constantly working with all of us to ensure we are performing at our best every day. If he isn’t working with the punters, he is either catching snaps making me better, or he’s working with Dom. He is the type of leader teams wish they had. I credit a lot of our success because of the energy, wisdom and guidance he brings.”

Dalton’s greatest strengths as a punter included the fact he has a big leg, and punts the ball with great hang time and distance. He is also very good at directional punting.

During his junior season in 2017, Dalton punted in all 13 games and finished the year averaging a careerbest 42.0 yards per punt. He boomed 76 punts for 3,193 yards, including a long of 63, and had 10 of at least 50 yards with 26 of his punts being downed inside the 20-yard line. Thirty-four of his punts were fair caught and only nine resulted in a touchback.

As a sophomore in 2016, Dalton punted in all 12 games and finished the season averaging 37.9 yards per punt. He punted 62 times for 2,348 yards, including eight of at least 50 yards, with 19 being downed inside the 20. Furthermore, 25 of his punts were fair caught and only four resulted in a touchback.

Dalton finished his redshirt freshman season punting 72 times for 2,974 yards (41.3 yards per punt, including nine of at least 50 yards. Twenty-seven of his punts were downed inside the 20, including at least one in 12 of the 13 games. He also had nine punts downed inside the 10-yard line and just three touchbacks.

“I feel like I have been here for a really long time, but I have made a lot of good memories, had a lot of good games and met a lot of great people,” said Dalton, who redshirted in 2014. “My career has been an extremely positive experience for myself.”

Collins appreciates the leadership Dalton brings to the table.

“He is extremely mature and is a great leader,” Collins said. “He is a guy who has been through a lot medically. It’s crazy, but he handled it in the most professional way that you can, and he’s like a coach on the field right now and has done just an unbelievable job. He’s a great mentor to younger players and a great rock and solid foundation for older guys in the program, too.”

Prior to Utah State, Dalton earned all-region firstteam honors as a punter during his senior season at Viewmont High School in Bountiful, Utah. He also garnered all-region second-team honors at tight end as a junior and all-region first-team honors as a punter during his sophomore year, helping Viewmont HS capture the Region 2 title.

Dalton was also a three-year letterwinner in basketball for the Vikings.

What brought Dalton to Utah State?

“I came up and worked out for (former head) coach (Matt) Wells, and he really liked what he saw, and offered me a scholarship,” Dalton said. “This was before my senior year of high school and he was putting a little pressure on me, so I thought about it. I talked with my parents and I could have waited and tried to get some more offers, but I really liked that Utah State was close to home, but still kind of far away. I really liked what coach Wells had said and I liked what the program was about. It was a great fit and I was sold after one week.”

Dalton graduated last spring with a double major in business administration and marketing. The son of Matthew and Cheryl Dalton, who is a three-time academic all-Mountain West honoree, is finishing his minor in leadership and management this semester.

“I have made a lot of great memories at Utah State, including all the people I have met in the program – on the team, the coaches and the people around it,” said Dalton, when asked what he will remember most about his time in Cache Valley. “My parents think I am a pretty outgoing guy, but I am actually pretty quiet. I’ve got a couple of really good friends, but I really think that I was able to branch out and learn a lot about myself and people by just meeting people. It’s definitely my favorite thing that has come from being at Utah State.”

Outside of football and schooling, Dalton enjoys playing the popular video game, Fortnite, as well as bowling – both of which he is rather good at.

“I have a huge passion for bowling,” Dalton said. “I actually took the bowling class my first three semesters in a row up here, but don’t tell my mom; I don’t know if she knows. I love to bowl. My friends and I used to go bowl during high school. We would sometimes skip class and hit the bowling alley for some dollar games.

My record is 256, which I’ve accomplished twice. I was really upset on the second one. I had a split and I went to try and pick up both pins in the 10th frame. I should’ve just hit one, and I would have had a 257, but instead I have two scores of 256.”
