The players Utah State football added to its 2024 signing class
Feb. 7 used to be one of the biggest days on the college football calendar, almost akin to a national holiday for college football diehards.
It was, and still is, National Signing Day. It’s the start of the last chance for high school prospects to sign with college programs.
With the advent of the early signing period, the import of National Signing Day has died down significantly, especially for the top power programs across the country.

Entering Wednesday, relatively few top prospects were still available.
That hasn’t made the day unimportant for programs like Utah State, though.
Here is every new player the Aggies officially added to their 2024 signing class on Wednesday.
