Answer: One! Tyson Degenhart!

Tyson Degenhart's All-Mountain West first-team selection back in March marked the third time he's garnered the distinction. Earning the honor in 2023 and 2024, Degenhart is the first Bronco to take home Mountain West first-team accolades three times in his career.

Alvaro Cardenas was selected to the All-Mountain West second team.

The two recently celebrated their graduation day! 👇🏼 🎓 😭
