September will be here before you know it, and Utah State is reminding fans to purchase tickets for the 2025 USU Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony now.
On Thursday, the university announced that tickets were on sale for the event. The 22nd Hall of Fame class will be inducted on Sept. 12, with the ceremony beginning at 7 p.m. It will be at the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall on the USU campus. Tickets are $25 each.
The 2025 class is made up of seven members. They are former head football coach Gary Andersen (2009-12, 2019-20), women’s basketball player Devyn Christensen (2010-13), men’s basketball player Shawn Daniels (2000-01), football player Tyler Larsen (2009-13), volleyball player Amanda Orgill-Nielson (2004-07), gymnastics athlete Jessica Parenti Otte (2003, 2005-07) and soccer player Taryn Rose (2011-14).
The Aggies set seven school records during the 2024-25 season, marking one of the best campaigns in program history. They also competed in the second-ever postseason tournament and faired really well.
The seven record set this past season that recently concluded were the following.
• The Aggies posted a stroke average of 287.66, breaking the previous mark of 288.88 set during the 2019-20 season.
• USU recorded 18 rounds under par, surpassing the former record of 12 from the 2023-24 season.
• USU logged 18 rounds of even-par or better, topping the previous best of 13, also from the 2023-24 season.
• The Aggies finished six tournaments under par, doubling the old record of three set during the 2019-20 campaign.
• USU’s 16-under 848 at the Mountain West Championship is its best-ever 54-hole score at a conference tournament and third-best overall in school history.
• All five USU golfers finished the Mountain West Championship under par – which is a first in program history for any tournament.
• USU’s 15-under 273 during the second round of the Utah Collegiate Classic is the best round in program history.
Playing in just its second-ever postseason tournament, USU shot a 19-under-par 845 (277-282-286), which is the second-best 54-hole score in program history, to finish in second place at the 2025 GOLFWEEK National Golf Invitational Championship at the Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Arizona.
Sophomore Enrique Karg claimed medalist honors at the tournament with a 12-under-par 204 (65-70-69), which is tied for the seventh-best 54-hole score in program history. It was the 30th time that an Aggie has ever won at least a share of a tournament title.
USU also posted a sixth-place finish at the 2025 Mountain West Championship with a 16-under-par 848 (286-279-283) at the Emerald Valley Golf Club in Creswell, Oregon. USU's sixth place finish is its best in a conference tournament since also finishing sixth at the 2013 Western Athletic Conference Championships. Its best finish prior to that was a fourth-place finish at the 2009 WAC Championships.
Senior Julio Arronte led the Aggies during the 2024-25 season with a stroke average of 71.69, which ranks as the third-best in program history. He had 18 par-or-better rounds and 15 under-par rounds, both of which rank third all-time in school history.
USU had a pair of Aggies shoot 7-under-par 65 during the season, which is tied for the ninth-best round in program history. Karg shot a 7-under-par 65 during the first round of the GOLFWEEK National Golf Invitational Championship. Graduate John Cook shot 7-under-par 65 twice during the season, both during his second round, at the GOLFWEEK National Golf Invitational Championship and at the Utah Collegiate Shootout.
