Utah State signed University of Cincinnati kicker Carter Brown. Brown is a 6-foot-0 198-pound junior who will join the Aggies in time for spring ball. Brown will enter spring ball as a redshirt junior with two years of eligibility remaining.
In his final season with the Bearcats, Brown hit 3 of 5 field goal attempts and all 8 of his PATs before a leg injury forced him from the lineups and he chose to utilize his redshirt season.
According to Chris Sailer Kicking, Brown was rated as a 5* and was the 17th-best kicking prospect in the country. He originally began his collegiate career as the starting kicker at Arizona State, before transferring to Cincinnati and becoming their starter in 2023. It appears that Utah State was his only offer after entering the transfer portal.
