Cortazzo making good first impression; Garette Craig to New Hampshire

Logan, UT - Ethan Cortazzo won't let anything stand in his way of reaching his football dreams.  After suffering a season ending ACL injury last season, Cortazzo continues his collegiate career as a preferred walk on at Utah State University. 

Cortazzo is making quite the first impression at Aggies camp, as he was named Newcomer of the Day (Aug 7th) for hauling in eight passes during 11 on 11 drills and 7 on 7 drills and then was Offensive Player of the Day (Aug. 10th) for snagging a four yard TD pass.

In only the one game Cortazzo played last year, he had eight receptions for 118 yards with one TD reception.
