Utah State football’s 2023 recruiting class is starting to grow.
First it was Skyridge High quarterback McCae Hillstead and then Ridgeline High wide receiver Jackson Olsen.
On Friday night, the Aggies added their third commitment for 2023 : Steele High (Cibolo, Texas) running back Jaydon Bailey.
Bailey announced his commitment over social media, writing “First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the chance to play at the next level. I would also like to thank all my family and friends woh believed in me through to all.
“I can’t forget about the coaches who have helped me become the player I am today. With all of that being said, I am glad to announce that I will be continuing to play football at Utah State University.”
