Utah State University football player, Andre Seldon Jr., has died in an accident at Porcupine Reservoir. He was 22 years old. According to information from the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, they received reports that a young man was spotted cliff diving on Saturday and that he did not resurface at about 2:20 p.m. on Saturday July 20. Dive units found Seldon just after 9 p.m.

“Our investigation leads us to believe this is a tragic accident as multiple witnesses recount the same information,” the sheriff’s office said.

The body of water is located approximately 7 miles south of Paradise, Utah.

Seldon joined the Utah State football program this summer after transferring from New Mexico State, where he played the past two seasons under Nate Dreiling, Utah State’s interim head coach and defensive coordinator. Seldon played for Belleville High School in Michigan. He appeared in 15 games with New Mexico State last season where he finished with 36 tackles, seven pass breakups and one interception.

“Our football program is heartbroken to have to endure the loss of one of our own,” Dreiling said. “Having had a previous relationship with Andre during our time together at New Mexico State, I can tell you he was an incredible person and teammate. Our condolences and prayers go out to Andre’s family as we grieve with them over this tremendous loss.”

Dreiling was promoted earlier this month after Utah State fired Blake Anderson, saying he violated university policies.
