Utah State may have already opened fall camp last week, but Blake Anderson’s program continues to mine the recruiting trail for talent.

The latest find? Rock Gonzalez.

Gonzalez, a junior college product, committed to Utah State on Tuesday, writing on social media, “10000% Committed to @USUFootball! Let’s get to work.” 

The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder comes to the Aggies after playing for Grossmont College at the junior college level.

According to USU recruiting expert Brian Phillips, Gonzalez is a part of the Aggies’ 2022 recruiting class — making him eligible to play this season — and also held scholarship offers from a trio of Division II schools.

Gonzalez is a California native, having played at Olympian High in the San Diego metropolitan area.
