LOGAN, Utah- Since the winter transfer portal opened on December 9, 2024, and closed on December 28, 2024, players across the country have left their current teams to find new homes, and teams have been active in recruiting these players to recoup losses and strengthen their rosters.
The transfer portal is especially important for a team like the Utah State Aggies, who just hired Bronco Mendenhall and a brand-new coaching staff.
Former Weber State Wildcat and BYU Cougar Jake Eichorn entered the transfer portal at the end of December and will be headed to his third stop in the Beehive State as he has committed to play his final year of eligibility for the Utah State Aggies.

Eichorn spent two seasons as a member of the Weber State Wildcats between 2021-2023. Following his time in Ogden, Jake entered the transfer portal ranked as a three-star interior offensive lineman.
Eichorn chose to head down I-15 to Provo, where he spent a year as a backup offensive lineman for the BYU Cougars.
Eichorn then hit the portal for the third time in his collegiate career, landing in Logan where he will play for first-year head coach Bronco Mendenhall.
Prior to the start of his college career, the former Beaver High School standout helped the Beavers win back-to-back state titles in 2019 and 2020.
Eichorn was one of the best high school football players in the state of Utah and signed with Weber State in December 2020. The offensive lineman sat out his first season with the Wildcats in 2021.
