Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals will be the first Aggie since Jordan Love in 2020 to hear his name called in the NFL draft.

Royals wasn't always a guaranteed future pro, nor even a collegiate career at Utah State was anything close to a foregone conclusion.

He was an all-state high jumper in the 7A classification in Georgia and finished sixth overall at the state championships in high school.

The Georgia native went to Georgia Military College , a junior college in Milledgeville , Georgia , to play football.

Jalen Royals traveled to Logan , Utah , to try out for Utah State football.

No one at USU really knew who Royals was, until he introduced himself to coach Kyle Cefalo .

Royals had a record-breaking junior season and an incredible senior season that was cut short by injury.
