Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Two Boise State equipment room graduate assistants helped the Seattle Seahawks capture Super Bowl LX on Feb. 7, joining former Bronco players George Holani and DeMarcus Lawrence in hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Doug DeKerchove (MAL '24) and Easton Hudson (MAL '25) both cut their teeth in Boise State's equipment room before reuniting with the Seahawks, where they helped the team finish 14-3 and navigate through the playoffs. The duo spent grueling days packing trunks and prepping gear for the Super Bowl, putting in 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. shifts to ensure every detail was ready for football's biggest stage.

🔼 Schedule Reveal. Boise State football players attempted to guess the team’s 2026 Pac-12 schedule. Here’s how it went.

🔼 Game Day. Boise State welcomes UNLV to ExtraMile Arena tonight at 8 p.m. MT on FS1, looking to split the season series after falling 89-85 in overtime to the Runnin' Rebels back on Jan. 13. The Broncos have been on an offensive tear lately, dropping 80+ points in six of their last seven games. Boise State remains a perfect 15-0 when leading at halftime and features five players with 200+ points this season (tied for most in the Mountain West), led by Drew Fielder, who is the conference's top-scoring forward with 324 points.

🔼 Keep Watch. Boise State seniors Dani Bayes and Natalie Pasco have been selected to the watch list for the 2026 Celsius Women's 3-Point Championship, part of the State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

🔼 At Home. Boise State men's tennis welcomes Wichita State (4-6) this evening at 5 p.m. MT and undefeated Denver (4-0) on Sunday at 11 a.m. MT to the Boas Indoor Tennis Center, with the Broncos leading the all-time series 4-0 against the Shockers and 7-4 against the Pioneers. The Broncos are looking to extend their success as three players—Stewart Aronson, Julius Seifert, and Filip Soderqvist—close in on 15 singles wins, while doubles pair Carson Baker and Avery Tallakson approach 10 victories together. Full preview here.

🔼 On Par. Boise State women's golf is off to Palm Desert for the Alice & John Wallace Women's Golf Classic from Feb. 14-16, facing a strong 16-team field including UCLA, USC, Vanderbilt, and California. The Broncos are coming off the Mountain Classic Match Play, where Leia Chung, Macee Greenwood, Teal Matsueda, and Brooke Patterson all won on the final day. Full preview here.

🔼 To the Combine. Boise State offensive lineman Kage Casey is heading to the NFL Combine! Casey was a pivotal anchor on the Broncos’ offensive line this season. The combine is scheduled for Feb. 23 through March 2 in Indianapolis.

🔼 It’s Back. Boise State and Idaho are set to clash on the gridiron again on Sept. 6, 2031. Full details here.

🔼 Wrapping Up. Boise State track and field divides its roster for the first time this indoor season, competing at the Don Kirby Invitational in Albuquerque and the Husky Classic in Seattle on Feb. 13-14 to close out the indoor season. The Broncos return to both venues where program records fell last year; Kaiya Robertson ran the fastest women's mile in school history (4:33.69, since improved to 4:28.93) and Angus Fitzgerald posted the program's top 800-meter time (1:50.86). The meets mark the final regular season competitions before the Mountain West Indoor Championships, with Robertson headlining a loaded women's mile field in Seattle while the field events crew leads the way in Albuquerque.

🔼 Mark Your Calendar. Boise State track and field released its 2026 outdoor schedule, which features the return of the Ed Jacoby Twilight in Boise on April 24 for the second consecutive season, honoring legendary coach Ed Jacoby who led the program for 23 seasons from 1973-96. Full details available here.
