Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Eight members of the Boise State football team were named to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society. Michael Callahan, Tyler Crowe, Jonah Dalmas, Ahmed Hassanein, Cooper Jones, Alexander Teubner, Luke Voorhees and Tavion Woodard were recognized for their efforts on the field and in the classroom. This is the most the Broncos have placed on the list since 2017, when they had 11, and the second-highest total in program history.

The native of Prague, Czechia, helped the Broncos win at Nevada 4-1 in their only contest of the week by winning his No. 3 singles match. With Boise State trailing by one to Nevada heading into singles, and after the Broncos dropped five of the six first sets in singles, Velik led the Boise State rally, winning in an up-and-down three-set match over Rayen Hermassi 0-6, 6-0, 6-4.

🔼 Dear NFL GMs. Former Bronco Ashton Jeanty writes:

Dear NFL GMs,

Most people, they watched the Eagles win the Super Bowl a couple of months ago, they watched Saquon run through everyone in the playoffs, and they thought to themselves, This is amazing.

I watched it and I thought something different.

I thought, That can be me.

If you’re wondering where I got this confidence from, I’d tell you it starts with my family.
