A Class AA state football title, verbally committing to the Montana State Bobcats, and now the Montana Gatorade Player of the Year award; everything is coming up aces for Helena Capital’s Talon Marsh.
SALT LAKE CITY Rollie Worster s time with Utah State is over, and his time with the University of Utah is about to begin.
The sophomore-to-be point guard from Missoula, Montana, spent as little time as possible in the NCAA s transfer portal, pledging his commitment to the Utes on Thursday less than a week after sources confirmed to KSL.com that he had entered the portal.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard averaged 9.1 points, 3.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game as a freshman with the Aggies, where he started 25 of 26 games for an Aggies squad that won 20 games and qualified for the NCAA Tournament for a third straight year. That includes a near-triple-double Jan. 28, when he finished one rebound and one assist shy of the prestigious mark in an 83-74 win over UNLV in Las Vegas.
LOGAN Rollie Worster s time at Utah State has apparently come to a close.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard from Missoula, Montana has entered the NCAA s transfer portal, a source with access to the portal confirmed to KSL.com Thursday night.
The move was first reported by ustateaggies.com, though a source told KSL.com that Worster s move had not been official until sometime after Thursday afternoon.
Still, the departure is not unexpected. Worster was recruited to Utah State by former Aggie head coach Craig Smith, who took the same job at the University of Utah on March 27. Just Thursday, the Utes announced that Smith s former top assistant both at Utah State and at his previous stop at South Dakota was joining him on the Hill, along with former Utah assistant DeMarlo Slocum.
At the very least, Rollie Worster couldn t.
Worster had a career-high 19 points to go along with nine rebounds, nine assists and three steals to lead five Aggies in double figures in an 83-74 win over UNLV that snapped a two-game losing skid Wednesday night in Las Vegas.
Neemias Queta also known as Worster s water boy during one timeout added 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocks, and Marco Anthony added 12 points and five boards. Justin Bean had 13 points, nine rebounds and four assists, and Brock Miller scored 15 points on 3-of-5 3-point shooting for the Aggies (13-5, 10-2 MW), including a vicious dunk to cap the final score.
