Utah State football has recently began to make some inroads in building its 2025 recruiting class.

The Aggies landed a commitment from Lehi offensive lineman Tommy Olsen late in July to get things started.

And on Monday morning, USU added its second commitment for 2025: running back Ravian Larry.

From Idabel, Oklahoma, Larry is a two-star recruit per Rivals — he is currently unrated by both 247 Sports and On3 Sports.

As a sophomore in 2022 at Idabel High School, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound back rushed for 1011 yards and 11 touchdowns, per Max Preps. He proved an explosive ball carrier, averaging 7.9 yards per carry, an average buoyed by four 100-yard touchdown runs.

Injury — specifically a partially torn posterior cruciate ligament — limited Larry significantly during his junior season, though. He played in only four games last season, two to start the year and two in the playoffs.

He still managed to average 12.1 yards per carry and rush for six touchdowns and was particularly dynamic to start the season, racking up 323 rushing yards with six touchdowns in those first two games.

Lack of playing time as a junior limited his recruit rating on a national level, but The Oklahoman recently rated Larry No. 26 on its Super 30 recruit rankings for the class of 2025.

Larry appears primed for a breakout senior season, Idabel head coach Scott Pratt told The Oklahoman.

“Ravian is a truly gifted athlete. He’s big, fast and strong,” Pratt said. “He’s been in the weight room all summer long here. He comes up and puts in individual time going through bags and footwork drills. He’s working hard.”

That Utah State was able to secure a commitment from Larry is…
