🔷 ONE BIG THING

The nation’s leading punter with an average of 49.6 yards per punt, James Ferguson-Reynolds, has been named Second Team All-America by Sports Illustrated. The accolade follows Ferguson-Reynolds' selection as a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award earlier this year.

This season, he is one of only three punters in the country to have multiple punts of 70 yards or longer, and his 25 punts that traveled 50+ yards ranks ties him for 12th in the nation. His punting caused eight touchbacks – ranking third in the country – while posting a net punting average of 43.1 yards, a number that placed him 10th in the FBS.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Bump, Set, Schedule. Boise State Beach Volleyball can now set its sights ahead with the release of the 2024 schedule. The Broncos' schedule consists of 36 regular-season matches, the most in program history, and features matches against eight teams who finished last season in the Top 20 of the AVCA Collegiate Beach Poll.

🗣️ "We've been a really good program the last couple of years. Our biggest priority when laying out the schedule this spring was playing more Top 20 programs. We've been knocking on that door of being a Top 20 program ourselves and we want to see how we do against that level.” - Allison Vogt
