🏈 Dynamic Duo
⚽ Backline Boss
🔹 And so much more!

🔼 New Season. Are you ready for some football? Coach Danielson met the media yesterday ahead of the team's first practice of fall camp. Catch it here.

🔼 Dynamic Duo. Two Broncos are on the national radar! Quarterback Maddux Madsen and running back Dylan Riley were named to the Maxwell Award Watch List, making Boise State one of just 16 FBS teams, and the only Pac-12 school, with multiple honorees. Madsen, who's made the watch list in back-to-back years, was Offensive MVP of last season's Mountain West Championship and is 19-2 as a starter. Riley broke out with 1,125 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns as a sophomore, becoming the first player in program history to run for four touchdowns and catch another in a single game!

🔼 Backline Boss. Another Bronco is earning national attention! Senior defender Kaitlyn Slocum was named one of 40 defenders to watch by United Soccer Coaches, joining teammate Ava de Leest among Boise State's preseason honorees. The Meridian, Idaho, native is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw her earn United Soccer Coaches All-Pacific Region first team honors while anchoring a backline that posted six shutouts.

🔼 Fantastic Four. Boise State men's golf is putting up big numbers in the classroom! Luke Cushman, Chase Gorder, Ryan Meyer, and Cole Rueck were named 2025-26 NCAA Division I Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars, making Boise State one of just 81 schools nationwide with at least four recipients. Rueck capped his senior season with a 69.70 scoring average, while winning two individual championships. Cushman leads the group academically with a 3.95 GPA in business administration!

🔼 What’s Next. Boise State track & field’s Landon Helms and Addy MacArthur share what they’re excited about as the Broncos transition to the Pac-12.

Who was the first Boise State player to win the Maxwell Award?
