LOGAN, Utah – Utah State football player Logan Bonner has been named the America First Credit Union USU Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending on Sunday, Nov. 28. The award is voted on by a state-wide media panel.
 
With their sponsorship of the Student-Athlete of the Week, America First Credit Union donates funds directly to support student-athlete scholarships.
 
Also on Monday, Bonner was tabbed one of eight Manning Award "Stars of the Week." He was named the College Sports Madness MW Offensive Player of the Week on Sunday, as well.
 
In the win over the Lobos, Bonner threw a career-high five touchdown passes (27, 39, 36, 76, 10), which is tied for the most in a single game in school history, as he helped the Aggies clinch the Mountain West Mountain Division title and spot in the MW championship game.
 
Bonner now has 32 touchdown passes on the season and 62 in his career, and those 32 touchdowns this season are tied with Jordan Love (2018) for the most in a single season in school history. It is the eighth-straight game and 10th time this season that Bonner has had multiple touchdowns. It is also the fifth time this year and seventh time in his career that he has thrown four touchdowns in a game.
 
In just three quarters of work against New Mexico, Bonner was 16-of-23 passing for 306 yards. He finished the game with a career-high 253.1 efficiency rating.
 
On the season, Bonner has passed for 3,236 yards, which ranks as the fifth-most in single-season school history. He is just the sixth different Utah State quarterback to pass for 3,000 yards in a season.
 
The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Bonner ranks first in the MW in yards per attempt (8.58), second in passing touchdowns (32, 2.67 pg), second in yards per completion (14.2), third in passing (270.2 ypg), third in points responsible for (16.2 pg) and third in passing efficiency (155.0).
 
No. 19 San Diego State (11-1, 7-1 MW) will host Bonner and the Aggies (9-3, 6-2) in the MW championship game on Saturday, Dec. 4, at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The game, which is slated to kick off at 1 p.m. (MT), will be televised on FOX.
