2025 OUTLOOK

JIMMY LISTON
Jimmy Liston is a transfer from Purdue University who will enter the 2025 season as a sophomore and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Last season, Liston did not see any action with the Boilermakers.

During his 2-year career at Purdue, he saw action in 4 games.

According to 247sports, coming out of Fenwick High School (IL), Liston was rated as the 1385th-best player nationally, the 58th-best center, and the 28th-best player in Illinois. He originally held offers from Arizona State, Ball State, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Florida Atlantic, Mississippi, Penn State, Purdue, and Texas Tech. He chose the Aggies over offers from Arkansas State, Ball State, Kennesaw State, Kent State, Liberty, New Mexico State, Sam Houston State, and Tulsa.

Liston is a mauler who aggressively tries to get his hands on an opposing defender and punish him. His strong lower body gives him a sturdy base. He also displays good balance once the ball is snapped. His improving quickness and flexibility make him a threat to pull on run plays. He plays with a tough, rugged throwback style. His snaps are on target, and he quickly gets his head up to engage with an opposing defender. He can play center or both guard spots.

 

KAMUTA LEVASA
Kamuta Levasa is a transfer from Cerritos Community College (CA) who will enter the 2025 season as a junior with two years of eligibility remaining.

In his lone season last year with the Falcons, Levasa played in and started 8 games on the offensive line.

During his 3-year career with Cerritos Community, Western Illinois University, and Independence Community College (KS), Levasa has played in 10 games with 8 starts.

Levasa chose the Aggies over an offer from Sacramento State.

Levasa is a nasty, road-grading blocker who seems to enjoy initiating contact. As a center, he is very good at springing from his stance once he snaps the ball and immediately locks on to an opposing defender in an effort to neutralize any push forward. He is skilled at keeping his head on a swivel, watching how the defense is attacking and making adjustments to stunts and shifts. He is a versatile offensive lineman and he has experience playing all five positions on the offensive line.

 

JARVIS GRIFFITHS
Adding depth to the position is sophomore preferred walk-on Jarvis Griffiths.

Last year, Griffiths saw action in 4 games.

During his 3-year career at Utah State, Griffiths has played in 4 games.

During his 3-year high school career at American Fork High (UT), he played in 35 games with 23 starts.

Griffiths is a steady center, with his snaps rarely off target. He is nimble enough that he is frequently used to pull and is comfortable going to his left or right. Once he snaps the ball, he explodes into his blocks, often driving opposing players into the ground. He uses his smaller stature to his advantage by leveraging his opponent and driving them backward.
