SALT LAKE CITY — For just the second time in school history, a Utah State football player was named the Mountain West Preseason Offensive Player of the Year.
This time, it’s junior quarterback Jordan Love. He joins former Aggie quarterback Chuckie Keeton, who earned the distinction in 2014.
Love was also one of five USU players named to the preseason all-conference team released Tuesday during the first day of the MW Football Media Days event in Henderson, Nev.
Boise State junior defensive lineman Curtis Weaver was named the preseason MW Defender of the Year, while Wyoming kicker Cooper Rothe earned the league’s preseason special teams player of the year honor.
