Logan Studt, a talented football player from Buchanan High School in Fresno County, California, has made a significant decision about his college career. In front of his loved ones, Studt revealed that he will be staying close to home and committing to Fresno State.
While Washington and Cal provided stiff competition, Studt ultimately chose Fresno State due to its strong coaching staff and the opportunity to continue the legacy of the program. Studt praised the coaching staff, which includes head coach Jeff Tedford, who made a compelling last-minute call to convince him to choose Fresno State. Tedford expressed his belief in Studt’s potential and outlined a vision for him to make a significant impact on the team.
Studt’s former Buchanan High School quarterback, Jayden Mandal, who is now a freshman at Fresno State, played a crucial role in recruiting him. Mandal consistently emphasized the importance of committing and becoming an official member of the Bulldogs’ team. Studt and Mandal share a longstanding connection to Fresno State, having grown up watching the team’s games from the stands.
Studt’s journey to committing to Fresno State traces back to his sophomore year when he received a scholarship offer. Although he was initially tempted to commit right away, he decided to keep his options open and seriously considered joining Kalen DeBoer at the University of Washington. The recent conference realignment news, with Washington moving into the Big Ten, caught Studt’s attention, but ultimately he felt compelled to stay close to home.
Looking ahead, Studt is eager to conclude his time at Buchanan High School and eagerly anticipate joining Fresno State next year. He acknowledged Fresno State’s successful ten-win season and is excited to contribute to the team’s continued growth and success.
Studt’s commitment to Fresno State aligns with other top local players who have decided to play for the Bulldogs. Marshel Sanders from Clovis West, Tytus Khajavi also from Clovis West, and Marsel Akins from El Diamante have all made verbal commitments to join Fresno State.
Overall, Studt’s decision to remain in his hometown and play for Fresno State showcases his loyalty to his local community and his belief in the program’s potential. As a talented athlete, Studt has the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on Fresno State’s football program while enjoying the support of his family, friends, and fellow Bulldogs fans.
