We have another tragic story as Utah State Aggies transfer Andre Seldon Jr. passed away in a drowning accident on Saturday afternoon at Porcupine Reservoir in Cache County. The Utah State Aggies football social media posted the news on Saturday night.
Deseret News is reporting that another Utah State football player and multiple gymnasts were there at the time of the incident as they were jumping off cliffs into the reservoir. The Cache County Sheriff’s Office released the following statement regarding the death.
“Our initial investigation leads us to believe this is a tragic accident as multiple witnesses recounted the same information. Our heartfelt condolences go to family and friends of the student athlete.”
Andre Seldon Jr. played cornerback for the New Mexico State Aggies for the previous two seasons before transferring to Utah State. He finished last season with 53 total tackles, a forced fumble, an interception and seven pass deflections. He was one of the players who followed interim Aggies coach Nate Dreiling from New Mexico State to Utah State this season as Dreiling was named defensive coordinator and now interim head coach.
