SENIOR FEATURE NICK HENINGER

FEATURE STORY

UTAH STATE LINEBACKER THRIVING NO MATTER WHERE HE PLAYS ON THE FIELD

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations With Utah State leading San Diego State by six on the road and less than one minute remaining in the game, the Aztecs had the ball facing fourth-and-10 on their own-39yard line.

SDSU quarterback Ryan Agnew took the snap out of the shotgun and was immediately flushed out of the pocket. He scrambled to his right, where the Aggie’ Justus Te’i was waiting for him.

Te’i forced Agnew to retreat toward his own end zone, where fellow Aggie defender Nick Heninger joined in the chase. The two finally corralled him at the 2-yard line for a loss of 37 yards.

Game over: Aggies 23, Aztecs 17. It marked Utah State’s first victory over San Diego State since a 31-25 road win on Nov. 25, 1967, snapping a 10-game losing streak in the process.

That play will forever be etched in the mind of Heninger.

“My favorite memory during my time at Utah State is when we beat San Diego State in 2019, Heninger said. “We chased the QB down to inside San Diego State’s own 5-yard line, where we tackled him and sealed the victory.”

Plays like that have become the norm for Heninger during his time at Utah State.

“He has done a great job for us and we love everything about him – his work ethic, his toughness and his super-high IQ footballwise,” said interim Utah State head coach Frank Maile. “Because he has played different positions, he understands the defense fairly well, so he is awesome to have around.”

Prior to the start of the 2020 season, Heninger, a graduate transfer from Utah, moved from defensive end to linebacker. A year ago, the 6-foot-2, 230-pounder was the Aggies’ most productive pass rusher as he led the team with 9.5 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks.

“I have loved moving positions back to OLB from DE,” Heninger said. “I’ve been able to learn even more about the game by playing it with a different perspective.”

Through the first four games of the COVIDshortened 2020 season, Heninger again finds himself leading Utah State in tackles for loss with 4.0, including 1.0 sacks. He is also tied for fourth on the team with 20 tackles.

“He is about as tough as they come,” Maile said. “We’ve asked him to do several things for us. Obviously, he has been playing outside backer for us. He went from D-end last year to outside backer this year, and we actually used him in the last two games to play defensive end.

“If you look at Nick, you’re like, ‘Are you sure you want to put him there?’ But, Nick is as tough as nails. He is explosive and he’s just super strong, so he is a physical dude, which allows him to be able to play with good leverage for his size in the trenches.”

The son of Mark and Donna Heninger began his career as a walk-on at Utah in 2016, and earned a scholarship two years later. He played in 10 games and had two tackles,

6

UTAH STATE

including 1.0 sacks, and two pass breakups as a sophomore in 2018. As a redshirt freshman in 2017, Heninger appeared in 13 games for the Utes, seeing time at special teams and defensive end, recording 11 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss, and two fumble recoveries, which tied for fourth in the Pac-12.

“I walked on at Utah because I believed in my ability to play football in a Power-5 conference, and because it was close to home so that my family could come watch me play,” said Heninger, a native of South Jordan.

A two-time first-team all-academic Pac12 recipient, Heninger graduated from Utah in three years – he was able to complete 58 credits, 14 of which were language credits, during his last spring and summer semester – with a bachelor’s degree in the business scholars’ program.

Heninger wasn’t done playing football, though, and he headed north to become an Aggie.

“He is a grinder, and we just love those types of kids, because you know what you are going to get from them,” Maile said. “He is going to give you maximum effort, and he does that in the weight room, which is why he looks the way he looks. Not only in the weight room and on the football field, he does that in life. He prides himself in enjoying every single day and making the best of it, and leaving no regrets when the day is over.”

Heninger, who served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines, will finish his master of business administration this fall.

“I want to be remembered by the example I set on and off the field,” Heninger said. “I want to be remembered as a player who always gave everything I had to the game of football. Somebody who strives for success in all aspects of my life including God, family, academics and athletics.”

As for Heninger’s future?

“I have a goal to continue my athletic endeavors,” he said. “I also am actively working on a business plan and will move forward with that and real estate investing.”

Football is in Heninger’s blood. After all, his father was a defensive end at Duke from 1980-83, his grandfather, Earl Heninger, was drafted by the Chicago Cardinals in the 1953 NFL Draft, and his uncle, Marty (also a black belt in Gracie Jiu-jitsu), played football at Duke from 1980-84 and was the 2009 Mr. Olympia World Heavyweight Submission champion.

“I started playing tackle football when I was 10 years old,” Heninger said. “I loved football growing up because of my dad’s influence on me, and he is the one who introduced me to the game.”

For his career, Heninger has played in a combined 41 games between Utah and Utah State, recording 65 tackles, including 15.5 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks, to go along with five fumble recoveries, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

“He is a great kid and a great football player, and it has been a pleasure having him around,” Maile said.

Outside of football and school, Heninger enjoys spending time in the outdoors camping, fishing and hiking with his longhair German Shepherd, Duke (you can follow him on Instagram @dukethewolf).

Heninger’s parents did not officially name their son until he was 3 days old. Turns out, they ended up naming him after an ancestor.

“My parents chose Nicholas Attwood Heninger: Nicholas, because they liked the name, Attwood because my mom’s maiden name was Woods, a generational derivative of Attwood, who was knighted in the middle ages by the King,” Heninger explained. “Later, research found that the person knighted was Nicholas Attwood. I unintentionally was named after an ancestor.”

UNIVERSITY VICE PRESIDENT / AD

JOHN HARTWELL The Citadel, 1987 June, 2015 - Present (Sixth 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.

Under Hartwell’s leadership, Utah State Athletics has seen unparalleled success, led by a 54-15 record and consecutive Mountain West Tournament titles in men’s basketball the last two seasons. In all, USU has claimed five Mountain West regular season championships and four more postseason titles during Hartwell’s tenure, while five coaches have been named its Conference Coach of the Year.

All of Utah State’s recent successes has been noticed nationally as well, as Stadium Network listed Hartwell as the 18th-best Athletics Director in the nation, including the fourth-best non-Power 5 AD, in June of 2020.

During the 2019-20 academic year, Utah State men’s basketball won its second-straight Mountain West Tournament title, while the USU men’s cross country team won its first-ever MW Championship, followed by a 16th-place finish at the NCAA National Championships. In fact, USU’s men’s cross country team has advanced to the NCAA Championships twice in the past three seasons, its first two appearances in school history. Furthermore, Aggie football played in its eighth bowl game since 2011 and Aggie gymnastics notched its first winning season since 1999, which included a pair of victories against top-20 opponents, as it finished the year ranked 29th in the nation. In all, the 2019-20 academic year marked just the fourth time in school history that football advanced to a bowl game and men’s basketball qualified for the NCAA Tournament, including for the first time in back-to-back years. Additionally, head men’s cross country coach Artie Gulden and head gymnastics coach Amy Smith were named their conference’s Coach of the Year, both of which are Hartwell hires.

The 2018-19 Utah State academic year saw both its football and men’s basketball teams nationally ranked as USU 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), which is a single-season school record. That 39-9 mark was also 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.

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, the 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 nation-

ally in the Learfield Director’s Cup Standings, which is by far the best finish for USU in the Cup’s 25 years, while its 375-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 student-athletes combined to garner three All-America honors.

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 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 student-athletes in the classroom as they have a 93 percent graduation success rate, which is the highest in the Mountain West, and a cumulative 3.36 grade-point average. During the 2019-2020 academic year, USU had 187 student-athletes earn academic all-MW honors, while 132 were named MW Scholar-Athletes. Additionally, USU recognized 212 student-athletes at its annual Joe E. and Elma Whitesides Luncheon for earning a 3.2 or better GPA. 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.

And, Hartwell’s strong business background has also proved to be valuable at Utah State as he negotiated a new footwear and apparel deal with Nike in 2020.

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 student-athlete 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.

A 1987 graduate of The Citadel, the 55-year old Hartwell spent fourplus 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 (11) and Madison (8). Hartwell also has a 28-year old son, Hunter, who is working on his MBA at The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania.

This Is Utah State...

Utah State’s student section, known simply as The HURD, supports the Aggies’ football team every home game. The HURD is Utah State’s spirit club for all athletics. It is currently the largest club of Aggie students at Utah State. The HURD attends Coach’s Shows, sports nights, tailgate parties, pre-, post- and away-game parties, pep-rallies, and even road trips are just some of the activities that The HURD provides at least once a week for all of its members.

Show ‘Em Your “A”

In 1909, the first senior class gift was an “A” placed on the west side of Old Main tower. The “A,” now on all four sides of the tower, can be seen throughout the valley, especially at night when lit in white.

For special occasions and athletic wins, the “A” shines blue.

Utah State will be taking the field for the 123rd season of football in 129 years in 2020. USU took the field for the first time on Nov. 25, 1892, and defeated in-state rival Utah, 12-0

DEVONTA’E HENRY-COLE

FEATURE STORY

RUNNING BACK GOT FRESH START AT UTAH STATE

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations Devonta’e Henry-Cole was looking for a fresh start, despite the fact he was next in line for the starting running back spot at the University of Utah.

Henry-Cole chose to take his talents to Utah’s biggest rival, BYU, but then had a change of heart and made his way north to Utah State.

“I just wanted a different environment,” Henry-Cole said. “I didn’t think BYU was going to have a season due to COVID-19, so I changed my mind and came to Utah State.”

In a March 23 article in the Deseret News, Henry-Cole had this to say about his decision to move on from Utah: “The last couple of years, I just wasn’t happy, so I think it was best for me to transfer. I did my four years. It is my senior year, so I want to do what is best for me this coming year.”

In his four seasons with the Utes, HenryCole, playing behind Zack Moss, who was chosen by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, rushed for 469 yards and four touchdowns on 90 carries.

With Henry-Cole on the roster, the Aggies have a nice one-two punch in the backfield, along with senior Jaylen Warren.

“He has just been a really great addition and a really good teammate,” said first-year USU running backs coach Dave Schramm.

“We’ve got younger guys in the room, and he has mentored those guys and helped them along. He is always talking to them during practice. When other guys are in, he’s trying to help them and teach them. I’m lucky to meet with all of those guys every day and be their coach.”

Schramm appreciates how Henry-Cole and Warren have embraced each other, and their roles on the team.

“The one thing that is really good about it, DHC comes in and they are good friends,” the coach said. “They work together. They are really good teammates and they want to see the other one do well, they help each other out, they communicate. They’ve embraced the role of alternating and all those things, so they are almost getting to the point where they could be like coaches on the field and help other guys out, too. They are just good young men. It’s fun to be able to be their coach.”

Henry-Cole has played in all four of the Aggies’ games – starting two of them – during this COVID-shortened season. He has rushed for 127 yards on 31 carries, to go along with one kickoff return for 20 yards and one catch for four yards.

“DHC brought another great running back to the team, someone with a lot of experience in college football, which has carried over to the younger guys,” said sophomore quarterback Andrew Peasley.

“He has just been showing them his ways of being a leader on and off the field.”

Not only does Henry-Cole play a key role on offense for Utah State, but he is also an asset on special teams.

Case in point: In Utah State’s Homecoming game against Fresno State on Nov. 14, Henry-Cole provided a key block that helped spring senior wide receiver Savon Scarver

UTAH STATE

for a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

It was his sixth-career kickoff return for a touchdown, which ranks first in school history, second in MW history and tied for the fifth-most in NCAA history.

“DHC had an amazing block, a pancake is what we call it,” Scarver said. “DHC was telling me before the play, ‘Just follow me.

Trust me.’ I was like, ‘All right, I trust you.’ I trust all those dudes on our unit, but DHC’s block was amazing. He knocked the guy right out of the hole and opened it up for me, and I just ran. As soon as I saw the seam, I just hit it as quick as I could.”

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound native of Boca Raton, Fla., had his best game as an Aggie against Fresno State. Henry-Cole rushed for a season-high 73 yards, including a seasonlong 24-yarder, on a season-high-tying 11 carries.

“He’s not as outgoing as Jaylen, so he’s a little bit more reserved in a good way,” Schramm said. “He’s very analytical and wants to know every minute detail, and it helps him. Everybody works it a little bit different, right? He has adapted well, he’s fit in with the team, he’s a really good teammate and is one of those guys that just wants to keep getting better and better and better.

“He has got a great work ethic. DHC is a little bit more explosive and he has become a good pass blocker, he buys into what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. He has been a good addition to the team.”

Henry-Cole has appreciated his time with the Aggies.

“It’s been great,” he said. “I have made new friends and brothers on the team. The coaching staff is great, as well.”

The son of Gary Cole and Tanya Henry made his way to the Beehive State from the

Sunshine State. He received 13 offers during his junior year of high school at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after he averaged 11.8 yards per carry, rushing 34 times for 400 yards and five touchdowns.

Henry-Cole, who also competed on the Raiders’ track & field team, played in just three games his senior season before being sidelined with a broken wrist, recording 37 carries for 173 yards and one touchdown, to go along with two catches for 35 yards.

“Utah was beautiful when I went on my official visit and I wanted a different feel than Florida,” Henry-Cole said.

His best game as a Ute came during the 2019 campaign, when he rushed for a careerhigh-tying 79 yards on a career-best 15 carries against Washington State. He also ran for 79 yards on nine carries against Colorado in 2017, to go along with a career-long run of 31 yards against Stanford that same season.

Henry-Cole earned honorable mention all-Pac-12 academic honors following his sophomore season. He graduated from Utah in the fall of 2019 with a degree in sociology and is working on his second bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Utah State.

Henry-Cole, who has a twin sister, started playing football his freshman year of high school. Outside of football and schooling, he enjoys playing video games and hanging out with his girlfriend, Kami Warner.

What does the future hold in store for Henry-Cole, once he is done playing football, whether it be collegiately or professionally?

“I want to get into real estate, or start a business,” said, Henry-Cole, who considers his brother as his biggest role model. “No matter what, I will keep fighting for my goals and not quit.”

SENIOR FEATURE MARCUS MOORE

FEATURE STORY ®

AGGIE DEFENSIVE END HAS GAINED A NEW-FOUND APPRECIATION FOR FOOTBALL

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations It certainly couldn’t have been an easy decision to step away from the game he loved, but it sure proved to be beneficial for Marcus Moore.

Following his sophomore season at UCLA in 2018, one in which he saw action in four games as a reserve outside linebacker and special teams player, Moore decided to hang up his cleats. The native of Pasadena, Calif., remained in school, though, and earned his degree in African American Studies in the fall of 2019.

The desire to play the game of football never went away from Moore, and he entered the transfer portal. Utah State was one of the schools that expressed interest in the 6-foot-3, 280-pounder, and it has proven to be a good fit for both sides.

“I believe my heart for football never changed, more like my opportunity for playing at UCLA had dissolved,” Moore said. “Time away from the game gave me the ability to grow as individual and, overall, plan for what was to come. A new-found appreciation for the game came upon me and after meeting coach (Frank) Maile, we found a new home for me.

“The Aggie Family has embraced me and I have to say, it’s an honor to be a part of the culture.”

Maile, who is in his second stint as Utah State’s interim head coach, loves having Moore in the program.

“He is awesome,” Maile said. “He is a great kid to have around. He works hard, he’s tough and is very coachable. That is half the battle, finding kids that will embrace the coaching. As hard as it may get for them, just embrace it, because it is for their benefit.”

Moore has played in all four games for the Aggies this season. He has recorded 19 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss. He is tied for first on the team in sacks (2.0) and quarterback hurries (1).

As good as Moore has been for Utah State, Maile knows the sky is the limit for the grad transfer.

“He is an awesome kid,” Maile said. “He is a really talented individual, and you’re just barely seeing the tip of the iceberg with him.

There is still more in him, and he knows that.

He comes in and sees me all the time, and he wants me to coach him hard and coach him to that level where he can play. Everyone is just seeing a little bit of what Marcus can actually do, but with the journey he is on, there is a long ways for him to go, which is going to be good for us in the end.”

Making his debut for the Aggies, Moore recorded a career-high seven tackles in the season opener at Boise State on Oct. 24.

“He is explosive,” Maile said. “A lot of people don’t know this, he ran track in high school, but for his size, he is super-fast and he can run. This is probably the heaviest he has been in his playing career, but if you see him open up and run, he actually moves really well. He is an explosive kid, which is good for us defensive line-wise, because of what I ask him to do. He has got good length. He is an awesome kid and one that you love having around. He does everything you ask him to do, and he understands there is more in him that he can give in his preparation to be who he

should be.”

Growing up a stone’s throw from the Rose Bowl, Moore always dreamt of playing for the Bruins. Spurning offers from Miami, Washington State and Nevada, Moore accepted the offer he received from UCLA. “I lived five minutes away, and it was a dream of mine to play in that stadium,” Moore said.

Moore has been playing the sport he loves for 15 years.

“Growing up, I had an aggressive personality,” Moore said. “My family decided I needed a space to express myself, and the game eventually grew on me, and it became a great outlet.”

While the game of football has provided a way for Moore to express himself, he also uses another outlet to do that: music.

“Not only do I express myself on the field, but from time to time I make music in my home-made studio,” he said. “I’ve written songs since I was in high school and during the time I took away from football at UCLA, I began to learn how to record at home.”

Outside of football and music, Moore also enjoying reading, relaxing, playing video games, communicating with his loved ones and “envisioning my future life.”

What does Moore’s future look like?

“I always keep my mind on the main thing, which is football and, which I know has an end date,” Moore said. “I’m just not sure when that day will come. Although I plan on figuring out a different career or remaining in the game as a coach, beyond working or focusing on a career, I plan on getting married and starting a family.”

Moore is as driven as ever to make sure he takes care of not only his future family, but those back home, as well.

“What motivates me to play the tough game of football?” he asked. “My response would be the passion I’ve gained from it over time and how it has served me. My mother has been struggling since I was a young boy, and playing this game gives/has given me a chance

to create a better life for my family back home.

Along with that, I also get motivation from my teammates and coaches who push me every day. It means the world to me that I have the opportunity to give them my 100 percent.”

The number 95 he wears on the front and back of his jersey is another motivating factor for Moore.

“Number 95 chose me when I initially started college,” Moore said. “I eventually gave it some meaning, that being I never wanted to work a 9-to-5 job, so wearing the number would remind me of the person I was working to become.”

Moore, who grew up without his dad, has had other father figures in his life that helped him get to where he is today. On top of that, his grandmother, Christina Moore, took him in when he was around 5 years old and took care of him from that day forward.

“Our relationship has always been a strong one,” Moore said. “She has been there for me through thick and thin, right to this day. She provided a roof over my head and kept me fed. She made sure I took school seriously and always wanted the best for me. Once I got to high school, she pushed me to continue on to college. To this day, she continues to stand strong taking care of my siblings and being as supportive as she can.”

The 6-foot-3, 280-pound defensive end is currently pursuing his masters of education in physical and sport education, but says he plans on transferring into the MBA program in the upcoming semester.

He appreciates the opportunity Utah State gave him to return to football, where his passion and desire continue to show each time he steps on the field.

“The Aggie Family embraced me,” he said.

“They provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime and helped me develop into the player and person I want to be.”

SENIOR FEATURE JAYLEN WARREN

FEATURE STORY

UTAH STATE RUNNING BACK JAYLEN WARREN OUT TO PROVE HATERS AND DOUBTERS WRONG

by Wade Denniston, USU Athletic Media Relations In Utah State’s post-game press conference following its Homecoming tilt against Fresno State, Jaylen Warren was quick to credit his teammates in the trenches.

“Shout out to our O-line,” Warren said. “If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have put any points up on the board. We capitalized on our simple plays and executed on them. Today showed that there’s a start of something great, and we’ll see where it goes.”

Warren was one of the beneficiaries of Utah State’s offensive line play against the Bulldogs.

After all, he patiently waited for the hole to open up on the Aggies’ very first play from scrimmage, then hit it.

Eighty-six yards later, he was in the end zone for a career-long touchdown run.

“He used to be a little bit of a dancer inside the line of scrimmage and one of the things I’ve worked with him on since I got here is you’re not a 240-pound guy that can do that and absorb the hits that are going to come,” said first-year running backs coach Dave Schramm. “You have to trust what you see and hit it. That was the first thing that jumped out at me, because he trusted it and just hit it.

“Based on how the safeties reacted, I knew he had a chance to score. It was just going to be a matter of did he have the wind capacity to make it to the end zone, but he did. About the 20-yard line, he was probably wondering, ‘I don’t know,’ but he’s got a burning desire to be a great player and he’s got a burning desire to score, which is what makes him a great player.”

Warren’s 86-yard run against the Bulldogs is tied for the eighth-longest rush in school history and it was also the longest rush by an Aggie since 2012. He finished the game with 136 yards on just nine carries (15.1 ypc).

Prior to Utah State, Warren was rated as the fourth-best junior college running back in the nation by 247sports.com as he was named the 2018 NJCAA National Offensive Player of the Year and an NJCAA first-team All-American after helping lead Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, to an 8-3 record and No. 9 national ranking.

During his sophomore season with the Badgers, Warren racked up 1,435 yards rushing as he led the nation with 159.4 yards rushing per game, ranked second nationally with an average of 8.6 yards per carry and third with 15 touchdowns.

Warren received offers from both Utah State and Hawai’i, but chose the Aggies based on one reason.

“I picked Utah State because they beat Hawai’i the year before I came,” he said.

Since donning the Aggie Blue and Fighting White, Warren has rushed for 821 yards and eight touchdowns on 151 carries (5.4 ypc) in 15 career games, including two starts. He has also caught 20 passes for 215 yards (10.8 ypc), including a long of 31 at Air Force in 2019.

“He is a beast,” said USU interim head coach Frank Maile. “I love everything about him. This guy only knows one speed and he practices that way. The same way you see him run in the game, he practices that way, so there is no surprise to me when he shows up in the game. He comes downhill and is a runaway truck when that ball gets into his hands. I love him.”

Warren began his Aggie career by rushing for 141 yards on 19 carries in the 2019 season opener

UTAH STATE

at Wake Forest, and then rushed for 105 yards on nine carries against Stony Brook the following week to become the first player ever to rush for 100 yards in an Aggie debut and in back-to-back games to start a career.

“Jaylen has been the man since he entered the program,” said sophomore quarterback Andrew Peasley. “He is very humble and driven to be great. The team looks to him as a leader and he has gained respect from all the players.”

During his first three games of the 2019 season, Warren carried the ball 45 times for 324 yards (7.1 ypc/106.7 ypg) with four touchdowns before fighting injuries the rest of the season.

“He’s a great kid with high energy,” Schramm said. “I love his passion and his desire to be a really good player. Both he and Devonta’e HenryCole are just really great people. They work extremely hard, they want to be good, they want to do right, they want to excel, which is why they are competitive and good at what they do.

“Jaylen is a very dynamic and very explosive guy. Both of them are the kind of guys you want to coach, because they show up early, they want to be good, they ask good questions and they are fun to be around. They both have really good personalities. I’m fortunate to get the chance to be the guy that coaches them right now.”

Warren is arguably the best high school running back the state of Utah has ever seen.

He was Mr. Football by the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune Player of the Year after leading East High School in Salt Lake City to an undefeated 14-0 season and second consecutive 4A state championship in 2016.

That year, Warren helped the Leopards lead the nation in rushing with 6,797 yards (485.5 ypg) as he totaled 3,099 yards rushing himself

to shatter the 37-year-old single-season state rushing record, while becoming the first player in the history of Utah high school football to ever reach the 3,000-yard plateau. He tied the singleseason state record with 38 rushing touchdowns as a senior and became the first player to ever rush for 100 yards or more in 14 games.

All five starting offensive linemen for East HS who helped pave the way for Warren to rack up all those yards got scholarships to Division I programs.

But, Warren did not receive a single Division I offer. The only schools to show interest in him were Dixie State, Snow College and Willian Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa. For sure that was frustrating for Warren, but he knew the single reason why the big schools stayed away: his performance in the classroom.

“My grades were trash,” Warren said. “I kind of dug that hole for myself. I made that bed for myself, so I had to sleep in it. Giving up was never a choice for me. I knew I had a second chance going the junior college route, and I had to take advantage of that. I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. I did get discouraged at times, but it’s the hunger that kept me going.”

Since joining Utah State, Warren has performed extremely well both on the field and in the classroom. Following his first year with the Aggies, he garnered academic all-Mountain West honors and heading into the 2020 season he landed on the Doak Walker Award Watch List and was named fourth-team all-MW by the Phil Steele Magazine.

“I like to prove to my haters and my doubters that they were wrong because I was looked at coming from a triple-option team in high school as a system back, and I feel like I am more than that,” Warren said. “I don’t like speaking too much on it. I just go out and play, and every time I go on the field, I know it can be taken away from me at any moment, so I just play the best I can.”

Warren, who considers his dad to be his biggest role model “because he taught me to never fold,” has been playing football since he was 8 years old.

“I had a cousin that played football and after going to his games, I wanted to try it out myself,” Warren said.

Turns out, it was a good decision. Not only for Warren, who has aspirations to play in the NFL, but also Utah State.

“His attitude is his greatest strength,” Schramm said. “And with that, attitude always helps you with your effort and your effort always helps you with your attitude. He is a great effort player, he’s got a burning desire to win, and is a highly competitive guy. He is a great teammate, so all those things carry into the reason why he is as good as he is.”

The son of Derrick and Neta Warren is majoring in sociology at Utah State and on track to graduate this fall. How does he want Aggie fans to remember him?

“As someone that had no sign of quit in him, and someone who can sing very well,” Warren said.
