Hayden Weichers talks about signing with Utah State (Video)

While looking for some highlight of some of our new football signees I came across this interview of one of the most interesting stories this recruiting year. Hayden Weichers, a 6-0, 170 lb wide receiver from Bingham High School comes from a long line of BYU Cougars. He had committed early to BYU, but was recruited heavily by both BYU and Utah State. In December Hayden decided to decommit from BYU to sign with Utah State and was instantly a fan favorite in Logan.

Here’s an interview with Hayden filmed yesterday on National Letter of Intent day. Enjoy.

And just for good measure, here’s a nice highlight clip of Weichers.

Utah State to face Illinois State in the BracketBuster

Illinois State LogoSo much for regional matchups. Just when I was pretty sure Utah State would see a regional matchup with Montana, Pacific, or even UC Irvine, ESPN sent us a team from back east. The Illinois State Redbirds will be visiting the Spectrum on Saturday February 23rd at 7:00 Mountain Time.

While the game is not televised on the ESPN networks, there is still a chance that it may be picked up by KMYU TV in Utah. Last year it was announced two days before game day that the BracketBuster game against UC Santa Barbara was to be televised on KMYU.

Utah State has faced Illinois State 5 times and has won 2 of those match ups. Two of the games were NIT contests (both won by Illinois State). For a full history between the two schools check out the Illinois State page at USUStats.com.
