Utah State picked up a verbal commitment Sunday afternoon from former Queens University of Charlotte combo guard Deyton Albury. Albury is a 6-foot-2 190-pound senior transfer who has one season of eligibility remaining with a redshirt season available if he needs it. He will join the Aggies for the 2024-25 season. Albury committed while on his official visit to the Utah State campus. Albury played just one season at Queens, as a junior he averaged 17.0 points per game while shooting 48.2% from the field, 36.4% from behind the three-point line, and 75.0% at the free-throw stripe. He also pulled in 5.8 rebounds, handed out 3.7 assists, and swiped 1.2 steals per game. For his effort, Albury was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Year and also earned third-team all-conference honors. Albury spent his first two seasons of collegiate basketball at Chipola Junior College in Florida, the same JuCo that produced Aggie legend Marcus Saxon. Once he entered the transfer portal, Albury became a popular player and pulled in offers from Akron, Central Florida, Florida Atlantic, Indiana, Kansas State, Loyola-Chicago, New Mexico State, North Texas, Sam Houston State, Samford, and Virginia Tech. Albury is the first commitment of the Jerrod Calhoun era at Utah State.

I didn’t realize how many big schools were showing interest. Looks like a great signing by Calhoun.
This was a BIG first step for Coach Calhoun and establishing what he wants to accomplish in his first season at Utah State!
