Gordon Monson: Who has the state’s best quarterback? It’s not Utah and it’s not BYU.

It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when nobody wanted Jordan Love, when he got love in name only. Not a single Division I team in the land recruited him — except for the one in Logan. No other talent evaluator from any other school thought he could play, at least not enough to actually offer him a scholarship.

The Aggies’ properly accurate read and recognition, having targeted Love after he participated in their football camp the summer before the quarterback’s senior year at Liberty High School in Bakersfield, Calif., already has given them one of the best QBs the program has ever known, one of the best in the country, and the best in the state of Utah, which is loaded up at that position at Utah, with Tyler Huntley and Jason Shelley, and at BYU, with Zach Wilson.
