All three players were major contributors on Utah State’s 11-2 squad last year that rewrote the school’s record books, was one of the top offensive programs in the nation, and ended up being ranked in the top 25 at the end of the season.

Utah State will open its 2019 on Aug. 20 against Wake Forest.

In Athlon’s preseason FCS All-American team, Weber State kick returner Rashid Shaheed was named to the squad as a return specialist.
