The Orem, Utah native was a three-star recruit coming out of high school and chose Utah State over offers from several programs including BYU, Air Force and Arkansas.

Legas holds ranks among the top-12 in several Utah State passing categories including career completion percentage (62.6%) which ranks him third all-time in school history and his 32 touchdown passes ranks him 11th all-time. Also, last season’s 64.8 completion percentage (138-of-213)  is the fourth-best in school history while his 32 completions at No. 25 Iowa (9/2/23) are the second-most in a single game in school history.

Legas will arrive at Tulsa looking to compete for a starting quarterback job under Golden Hurricanes' second-year head coach Kevin Wilson. Tulsa saw five players attempt passes last season as Wilson’s team went 4-8 in his first season with the program.
