Hans & Scotty’s 2024 60 in 60 List
Throughout the summer, KSL Sports Zone’s Hans Olsen & Scott Garrard are counting down the top 60 college football players in the state of Utah as voted on by the media (and a fan ballot).
Utah State’s Falepule Alo
Born in Gonzales, Louisiana, Alo played high school football in his home state and Utah before joining the Aggies in 2020.
In his freshman season, he played in five games and started four. In 185 total snaps, Alo recorded 9.5 knockdowns.
Alo also played just five games in 2021 due to an injury. He played in 238 snaps and posted seven knockdowns.
This is how a center should block a Strong Safety.

Going into his junior year in full health, Alo really caught his stride.
In 2022, he played in 12 games. In 555 snaps, he didn’t allow a single sack with 22 knockdowns.
Last year, Alo played a career-high 650 snaps with 39 knockdowns. The Aggies had an average season, finishing seventh in the Mountain West with a record of 6-7.
The offensive line around Alo leaves a lot to be desired. USU was dead last in the Mountain West last year with 44 sacks allowed for 240 yards. The Aggies will look to strengthen the trenches in 2024 and build around the rock in the middle, that is, Alo.
Alo’s cousin Sione Teuhema played in the NFL for the Carolina Panthers.
