Just when things were looking up for the Utah State football team, it suffers yet another blow.
Aggies senior running back Jaylen Warren has entered the NCAA transfer porter. The team confirmed the move in the game notes for the upcoming matchup against Air Force. The Herald Journal reported on Friday that Warren was leaving the program.
Warren is one of Utah State’s best players and their leading running back. This season, he ran for 252 yards and three touchdowns on 39 carries.
Warren is the latest player to enter the transfer porter, departing an Aggies team that is just 1-4 this season. That one win came on Thanksgiving Day when the team beat New Mexico, 41-27, behind an impressive performance from quarterback Andrew Peasley. Warren did not play in that game.
Senior inside linebacker Cash Gilliam, senior safety Troy Lefeged Jr. and junior wide receiver Deven Thompkins all entered the transfer portal last week. All three players were starters.
Starting quarterback and University of Utah transfer Jason Shelley was dismissed from the team earlier this month for violating team rules.
