Utah State University is set to honor a historic Hall of Fame class this fall, featuring three elite athletes and two legendary football teams—the 1960 and 1961 squads—who dominated their era with national rankings, conference titles, and NFL stars like Merlin Olsen and Bill Munson. Inductees Chari Hawkins, a trailblazing Olympian and record-holder in track, Reid Newey, a scoring and assist king in basketball, and Jennifer Schlott, the all-time leading scorer in women’s hoops, represent the pinnacle of Aggie athletic excellence. This celebration adds to over 150 honored names since the Hall’s founding in 1993, keeping the legacy alive and inspiring the next generation.

Utah State Aggies secure a significant addition to their roster with the signing of transfer forward Connor Turnbull for the 2026-27 season. Standing at six feet ten inches and weighing 225 pounds, Turnbull brings a wealth of experience, having started at Butler and dominated at Evansville for the past two years.

Turnbulls defensive prowess earned him Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2025, where he averaged 9.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game, ranking second in the league and 27th nationally. Despite injuries limiting his 2025-26 season to 16 games, he managed to increase his production to 11.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game, including a near triple-double against Western Kentucky.

Turnbulls defensive skills and efficiency are expected to significantly impact the Aggies frontcourt starting next season, making him a valuable asset for the team.
