🔷 ONE BIG THING

The hits keep on coming! Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty has been named a semifinalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, an award that recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell. The player also must have been born in Texas or played for a Texas high school.

The product of Lone Star High School is fifth in the country in total touchdowns (18) and ranks third nationally in points per game (10.8). He has recorded 84 first downs, the most in the FBS, and his 83 forced missed tackles rank second-most in the country.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Draining the Deep Ball. Thanks to a big fourth quarter, Boise State women’s basketball came away with its sixth win of the season against UC Davis. The 70-53 win was propelled by the shooting displays of both Natalie Pasco, who shot 50% from behind the arc, and Elodie Lalotte who shot 50% from the field. As a team, the Broncos had an overall efficient shooting night, going 52% from three.

Boise State will now look ahead to its matchup against Eastern Washington on the road this Sunday at 3 p.m.

🔼 Spring Scheduling. Mark your calendars Bronco Nation! The Boise State women’s tennis schedule has been released for the 2024 spring season. The schedule features 12 home matches and five contests against Power 5 opponents.

🗣️ "As we continue our mission to become one of the nation's elite, we've really mapped out a great plan and put together wonderful opportunities through our scheduling, The strength of schedule is no doubt one of the most difficult that the program's ever seen and we're excited to take that on." - head coach Beck Roghaar

🔼 Running Men. All season long, the Broncos have leaned on the running back duo of Ashton Jeanty and George Holani to be the spark on offense, and each has come through for the team in his own way. Check out this video featuring the dynamic Bronco backfield including the MW Offensive Player of the Year.

🤔 BLUE TURF TRIVIA

Not in her house. Boise State women’s basketball has been playing solid defense as of late, but one Bronco in particular has been the definition of a rim protector so far this season.
