SALT LAKE CITY – Utah State tight end Broc Lane enters his graduate senior season looking to make a statement in the Aggies’ final Mountain West season.
After missing the last five games of 2024, the former Arizona product has the athleticism and skill set to be a key offensive cog during his sixth year in Logan.
“Brock Lane is established and proven,” first-year USU head coach Bronco Mendenhall said. “He’s a dynamic playmaker at tight end. I like him flexed. I like him in space… A really good athlete and lots of experience. Really excited about him.”
He was 49th on the 2024 60 in 60 list.
Lane has played in 33 games, making 16 starts with the Aggies. He has 444 yards on 48 catches, with four touchdowns.
