🔷 ONE BIG THING

Five Boise State football student-athletes were named to the CSC Academic All-District Team. Defensive tackle Michael Callahan, defensive end Ahmed Hassanein, linebacker DJ Schramm, safety Alexander Teubner and safety Zion Washington were recognized for their efforts on the field and in the classroom. This marks the ninth-consecutive year Boise State has had multiple Academic All-District honorees and the fourth-straight year at least five Broncos have been selected.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Returning Coaches. Two of Boise State football’s position coaches from the 2023 season will run it back next year with head coach Spencer Danielson at the helm.

🏈 James Montgomery will return to coach Ashton Jeanty and the rest of the running back unit for the 2024 season. Joining the program on Jan. 31 of this year, Montgomery started off his tenure in the Blue and Orange by guiding the Broncos to the third-most rushing yards in the country during the 2023 season.

🏈 Matt Miller, a Bronco alum and former Boise State receiver himself, will return as the wide receivers coach next season. Miller worked with a receiver corps that was one of the most improved units in the country as the Broncos' passing game improved by more than 40 spots by adding 30 yards receiving per game.

🔼 Sunny San Diego. Bronco women’s basketball is hitting the road to play in the San Diego Winter Classic. Boise State will take on UC San Diego tonight at 5 p.m. and will turn around to play San Diego on Thursday at 5 p.m.
