“The Utah State Athletics Family is shocked and saddened at the passing of Steve Wiley,” USU athletic director John Hartwell said in a news release. “He has been a positive fixture of Aggie football and Aggie athletics for many years. Steve’s legacy and influence will forever be etched in Aggie Athletics. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
Known as the “Night Runner,” Wiley drove Utah State’s football equipment all over the nation for nearly 20 years. His first trip was to New Mexico State on Oct. 21, 1995. His last road trip driving the equipment was in 2013, but he continued to travel on USU road trips and help haul the Aggies' gear into this season.
