  At the current rate of departures, Utah State might struggle to field a defensive line next season. Since the conclusion of 2022 college football season, seven Aggies defensive lineman have entered the transfer portal, the latest becoming official Wednesday afternoon. One-time Michigan Wolverine Phillip Paea announced on social media that he has entered the transfer portal, following in the footsteps of Tavian Coleman, Daniel Grzesiak (Cincinnati), Patrick Joyner Jr. (Kansas), Aurion Peoples, Addison Trupp and Byron Vaughns.

Paea was a starter at defensive tackle for Utah State to begin last season, though his year was cut short after he tore his ACL in the Aggies' loss to Weber State in early September. In two games played (with a smattering of time against the Wildcats too), Paea recorded two tackles and an interception. As a junior in 2021, the 6-foot-4, 305 pound Paea played in all 14 games for the Mountain West Conference champion Aggies, and finished with 14 tackles, including two tackles for loss. Prior to arriving at Utah State, Paea spent four years at Michigan, where he appeared in three total games, while playing on both the offensive and defensive lines. - Deseret News

  Utah State's wide receiver corps has a significant new addition on the way. On Saturday morning, former Stanford wide receiver Colby Bowman - once a 4-star prospect out of St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California - announced on social media that he has committed to join the Aggies. Listed at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Bowman played three seasons at Stanford - he redshirted his freshman year in 2019 - and recorded seven receptions for 43 yards in 2022.

Bowman has two years of eligibility remaining, during which the Aggies and wide receivers coach Kyle Cefalo will hope to develop him to his full potential. Coming out of St. John Bosco, Bowman was projected to be a "upper-tier Power 5 starter and late-round NFL draft pick," per 247 Sports' national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins. - Deseret News
