Utah State football continues hot recruiting streak with commitment of Lone Peak athlete Takeao Hansen

Utah State Aggies players step on the field during an NCAA football game against the New Mexico Lobos at Maverik Stadium in Logan on Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020.

After a wild Friday that saw four players commit for the Class of 2022, the Utah State football program landed yet another pledge on Saturday afternoon, as Lone Peak High’s Takeao Hansen announced on Twitter his intention to join the Aggies.
