Breaking: Utah State's Anderson makes key hire (Featured)

New Utah State coach Blake Anderson is set to make one of his first key hires.

Sources told FootballScoop.com that Anderson has tabbed Central Florida co-offensive coordinator Anthony Tucker for the Aggies' offensive coordinator role on Anderson's new staff.

After it had fired Gary Andersen in October on the heels of an 0-3 start, Utah State conducted an extensive search led by Glenn Sugiyama of DHR International that culminated late this week when Utah State selected Anderson from a pool of finalists following Blake Anderson's long and successful run at Arkansas State.

In Tucker, Blake Anderson is reuniting with a former colleague. Tucker was on Anderson's Arkansas State staffs in 2013, 14 and 15; he coached running backs his final two seasons with the Red Wolves after coaching wideouts in his initial season.

Tucker played at Fresno State and in addition to being a keen offensive addition for Anderson's inaugural staff, Tucker also has honed a reputation as an excellent recruiter.
