Utah State guards Mason Falslev and Dallin Hall made the Pac-12 Preseason Impact Players List as the Aggies prepare for their first season in the conference. Utah State was picked second in the preseason poll, behind Gonzaga.

By the Numbers
  • Falslev averaged 16.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game in 2025-26.
  • Hall recorded 157 assists and 48 turnovers at Virginia, leading the ACC with a 3.27 assist-to-turnover ratio.
  • Utah State has beaten its preseason projection in 7 of the past 9 seasons.
Yes, But

Preseason rankings are only projections: Utah State has often outperformed them, including last season, when the Aggies won the Mountain West title after being picked second.

What's Next

Utah State opens its 2026-27 season at home against Idaho State on Monday, Nov. 2. Season tickets are sold out, but nonconference passes and single-game tickets are available.

Bottom Line

Falslev’s proven production and Hall’s experience give Utah State a strong backcourt foundation as it enters the Pac-12—and the Aggies’ track record suggests their second-place forecast may not be their ceiling.
