| #47 Daryl Fields makes a shoe string tackle vs Fresno State |
In a time where the USU football program is in a period of transition with a new coach and conference, Daryl Fields has been through the same type of changes before. He went through a similar situation while playing for Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, Calif.
"From my high school team, as a freshman, we just got new coaches too and we ended up winning the championship my senior year," Fields explained. "So, I have very high expectations for Utah State."
After football, Fields is planning on running his own company as an accountant.
"I want to own my own firm.," Fields said. "Hopefully, one of these guys will go to the NFL and I can just manage their money."

Playing college football runs in Clay Swan's family.
"I have two brothers, one played at Boise State and one played at Weber State and those were my other options besides Utah State, so I just wanted to try something new," Swan said.
Unlike the other three freshmen linebackers who are fresh out of high school, Swan red-shirted last year, meaning he trained with the team but never played so that he would still have four years of NCAA eligibility. So, even though Swan is technically a freshman, he is the only one of the four young linebackers to have played under the old and new coaches.
It was the coaches' last year that influenced Swan to walk on.
"I like the environment; I like the old coaches that we had so I decided to come up here and walk on," Swan said. "These coaches are a lot different, they work a lot harder. They do different kinds of things. They're more intense. It just brings the whole level of the game up."
