"We feel that these two offensive signees addressed our immediate needs, and we're excited about getting them on campus for spring drills and help us build this program," said USU offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin, who like Busch, joined the Aggie staff in December.

Enesi, a native of Carson, Calif., (Carson HS), will have two years of eligibility for the Aggies, coming to USU from El Camino Junior College where he played offensive lineman and was a back-up on defensive line. He will play defensive tackle at USU. The 6-0, 288-pound Enesi helped El Camino post a 10-2 record, losing in the second round of the playoffs. Enesi earned first-team all-Central Conference honors for the Southern California Football Association after anchoring a Warrior offensive line that paved the way for El Camino to amass 4,112 yards of total offense during the regular season, including 2,860 passing yards and 1,252 rushing yards, with 38 offensive TD's.

"We're going to convert Sean to defensive tackle. He has great explosion and great quickness. He's played a lot of offensive line in junior college, but I think defensive line can be his home. His quickness and his strength, along with his knowledge of the offensive line will help him be a talented defensive lineman for us. We expect him to come in and compete for a spot at defensive tackle, which is a spot where we need four quality players and be able to rotate in and out, and we'll need him to be in that rotation," Andersen said.

At Carson High School, Enesi played both center and guard.

Hendershott, a native of Pleasant Hill, Calif., will also have two years of eligibility at USU, joining the Aggies from Diablo Valley Community College. At 6-3, 195-pounds, the wide receiver earned first-team JC All-American honors after tallying 1,150 yards on 65 receptions with 18 TD's. Diablo Valley's passing attack ranked No. 2 in the state of California. He also had two kickoff returns for scores and collected first-team Northern California Conference honors. In 2007, he garnered all-conference accolades after snaring 38 receptions for 480 yards and six TD's.

"John is a key part of the transition to the true spread offense; we need a big, experienced receiver. We view him as a big, tall, physical receiver that can go up and get balls, but he can also get off of press coverage. He's a great route runner. He was a first-team junior college All-American, so his stats and honors speak for themselves. He fits the spread offense extremely well, that's what he played in at junior college, so he has the experience at it. We expect him to come in and make that receiving corps a solid group," Andersen said.
