🔼 A Senior Day that Almost Wasn’t. When senior defensive tackle Braxton Fely entered the transfer portal during spring practice, it surprised those around him. After a few visits to other schools, Fely called head coach Spencer Danielson and said, “I want to come home.” Now Fely is gearing up to celebrate Senior Day on Saturday. Here's why he decided to stay at Boise State.

🔼 Bump, Set, Spike. Boise State volleyball is back at it to close out the regular season slate. The Broncos host Nevada today at 6 p.m. MT on the Mountain West Network, then welcome Air Force on Saturday at noon. Tomorrow night’s game is a Black Out, while Boise State will host Senior Day and a trading card giveaway on Saturday.

🔼 Athletics to Academics. Boise State hurdler Maggie Shirazi is a pre-med student, majoring in biology and Spanish, and is a two-time Mountain West Scholar-Athlete. How does she balance it all? Read more on Shirazi’s journey at Boise State.

🔼 Broncos in the NFL. Week 12 in the NFL is here, and Boise State will have five players and one head coach representing the blue and orange in the pros. Thursday Night Football features Khalil Shakir and the Bills taking on the Texans. Shakir caught one pass in Buffalo’s win over Tampa Bay last week.

On Sunday, Seattle’s DeMarcus Lawrence and George Holani take on the Titans during the early afternoon slate. Lawrence finished last week’s loss to the Rams with two tackles and a QB hit, while Holani added six rushing yards and 16 snaps on special teams. Las Vegas’ Ashton Jeanty tallied 34 yards from scrimmage in Monday’s loss to the Cowboys, as the Raiders are set to face the Browns. Meanwhile, Ezra Cleveland returned from injury last week as the Jaguars dominated the Chargers, 35-6. Cleveland played 73 snaps and was the NFL’s highest-gradest offensive lineman in Week 11. The Jaguars face the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.

Finally, head coach Kellen Moore and the Saints will come off the bye week to face Atlanta on Sunday. The Saints recorded season-highs in total yards and passing yards their last time out.
