Late Tuesday night, a prospect with a unique path to Division I football announced his commitment to the Utah State Aggies.

That prospect is 6-foot-6, 295-pound JUCO offensive lineman Nikita Iuferov, who hails from Russia.

Iuferov announced his commitment to the Aggies via Twitter.

Not a lot of information is available about Iuferov, but he was last at College of San Mateo in California.

According 247 Sports and his Twitter account, Iuferov also holds a scholarship offer from Mountain West Conference foe San Jose State, as well as fellow Group of Five school North Texas.

As a JUCO transfer, it is expected that Iuferov will join the Aggies this fall.
