Harris LaChance is grateful, excited and eager for a chance.
“I can’t wait to enroll in January and be part of the football program,” said LaChance, a defensive and offensive lineman who signed with Utah State before serving an LDS Church mission in Nashville, Tennessee.
He returned from church service June 7. When USU didn’t have a scholarship available for fall — but would in January — he opened up his recruiting, looking into Utah and BYU before accepting a scholarship from Sitake to enroll in January.
LaChance is 6-foot-8 and a former defensive end who is targeted to play offensive tackle in college. A former all-state player at Herriman who also played basketball and rugby, LaChance came home last summer at 222 pounds. After four months working out with a private trainer at The Art of Training, he now weighs 260 and hopes to weigh 275 by the time he puts on pads.
“I think I can play at 280,” he said.
Those familiar with LaChance’s game say he has an impressive motor and is very active and self-driven. He doesn’t back down from physical play but welcomes the fight. He can do the NFL combine 225-pound bench lift 21 times and his height and athleticism give him skills to play tackle and be effective.
