Newcomers Powering the Aggies Under Head Coach Ben Jacobson
Utah State enters the matchup guided by head coach Ben Jacobson, who was hired on March 30, 2026, as the 23rd head coach in program history. Jacobson arrived in Logan following a 20-year tenure at Northern Iowa that featured two NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances. He enters the weekend needing just two more victories to reach 400 career wins at the Division I level.
The Aggies returned only four players from a 2025-26 squad that went 29-7 overall, claimed the Mountain West regular season and tournament titles, and defeated Villanova in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Returners include Mountain West Player of the Year Mason Falslev and Sixth Man of the Year Karson Templin, joined by 11 newcomers consisting of nine transfers and two freshmen.
Sophomore wing Kingston Tosi highlighted the season-opening win against Idaho State by scoring 26 points in his collegiate debut, shooting 11-of-16 from the field while adding five rebounds and three steals. Tosi’s performance marked the highest-scoring debut by any Utah State player since Jay Goodman scored 33 points in 1990. Junior forward Will Hornseth contributed 16 points, and junior guard Solomon Callaghan chipped in 14 points as the Aggies outscored the Bengals 57-29 in the second half while shooting 71 percent.
Milestones and Historical Context Against the Summit League
Saturday’s game marks the first all-time meeting between Utah State and Omaha. Historically, the Aggies hold a 12-4 record against opponents from the Summit League. Individual milestones are also within reach for several players on the roster.
Guard Dallin Hall enters the weekend six points shy of 1,000 career points, having scored 772 at BYU, 214 last year at Virginia, and eight so far in his first season with Utah State. Mason Falslev sits 22 points away from 1,500 career points, all earned in an Aggie uniform, a threshold reached by only 13 players in school history. Following Saturday’s matchup, Utah State continues its homestand by hosting in-state opponent Utah Tech on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. Mountain Time.
