LOGAN, Utah- Since the winter transfer portal opened on December 9, 2024, and closed on December 28, 2024, players across the country have left their current teams to find new homes, and teams have been active in recruiting these players to recoup losses and strengthen their rosters.
The transfer portal is especially important for a team like the Utah State Aggies, who just hired Bronco Mendenhall and a brand-new coaching staff.
