The Cache Valley Media Group’s Top 25 Aggies of 2024 countdown continues with the No. 22 player, the 6-foot-5, 310 pound sophomore offensive tackle Teague Andersen. Andersen is a native of Utah, coming out of Lehi High School. His older brother, Trey, is also on the Aggies’ roster. After a redshirt year in 2022, Andersen played in 12 of USU's games in 2023, starting seven as a redshirt freshman. The majority of his snaps were at right tackle, though he did start at center for the Aggies against Nevada on Nov. 11. He played the third-most snaps among offensive lineman on the team, and Pro Football Focus graded Andersen as the best offensive tackle on the team last year. The expectation for Andersen is to once again be the team's starting right tackle and take a bigger step forward as a sophomore.
