LOGAN, Utah – Utah State head men's basketball coach Ryan Odom has announced the signing of graduate transfer Brandon Horvath, set to join the Aggies for the upcoming 2021-22 season.
"We are excited to have Brandon join us here at Utah State. Brandon worked really hard to establish himself as one of the better players in the America East," Odom said. "He certainly fits our style of play and will prove to be a versatile player for our program. He is excited about the challenge of competing in the Mountain West."
Horvath is joining the Aggies for his final season of eligibility after playing under Odom at UMBC over the last four years.

In addition to averaging in double figures as a senior, Horvath also turned in 11.0 points per game during his junior campaign and has totaled 986 points over the course of his career. Horvath's scoring numbers include 44 games in double figures, including five games with 20 or more.
