🔷 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

10 days until kickoff, Bronco Nation!

Coming into the 2024 season with seven different preseason accolades including the Butkus Award Preseason Watch List and a selection to Phil Steele’s Preseason All-Mountain West First Team, Boise State linebacker Andrew Simpson is primed for a big year. No. 10 is coming off his redshirt sophomore season where he started 11 games, totaling 66 tackles, 16 TFLs, 6.5 sacks and recovered two fumbles.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. Boise State football standouts Ashton Jeanty and James Ferguson-Reynolds continue to garner national recognition, with the junior duo earning second-team preseason All-America honors from the Associated Press. The selection marks Jeanty’s tenth preseason All-American nod while Ferguson-Reynolds was named to his sixth All-American team.

🔼 Good To Be Back. As Boise State volleyball prepares its return to the court, a big thank you goes out to all of Bronco Nation who showed out to support the team in the blue-orange scrimmage. The team will return to Bronco Gym on September 13 for the Boise State Classic where the Broncos will face CSU Bakersfield, Gonzaga and Idaho State.

🔼 Official Tee Times. Boise State men’s golf is getting set for a new season after head coach David Trainor announced the team’s 2024-25 schedule. The season will see the Broncos compete in eight different states with four trips westward to the state of Oregon. The season opens Sept. 1-2 with a return trip to the Island Resorts Intercollegiate. Returning this season is the 2nd Annual Battle for Idaho against the Vandals at Hillcrest Country Club, April 14-15 – the lone home competition for Boise State this season.

🔼 Look Good, Feel Good. Check out some of the custom details in Boise State soccer's upgraded locker room.

🔼 New In Town. Following a historic season for Boise State beach volleyball, head coach Allison Voigt announced the addition of assistant coach, Alex Luna. Luna joins the Broncos after serving as the assistant coach at South Carolina last season. Previously, he founded the beach volleyball program at Stephen F. Austin and served as the head coach for five seasons from 2019-23.

🗣️ "I've been watching Allison and Alex do great things at Boise State for years now. They've steadily built a program that's now inches away from being a perennial top 20 team and more importantly, they've done it while retaining athletes and developing well-rounded human beings along the way. The opportunity to join a staff with such humility and an eagerness to continue learning and growing was a no-brainer for me." - Alex Luna

🔼 Going Pro. The now-former standout Boise State men’s basketball guard is heading to Norway after signing a professional contract with Team FOG Naestved. Max Rice signed with the team following an impressive 2023-24 season that saw him earn All MW Third Team honors after starting in all 33 games for the Broncos and averaging 12.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

🔼 Going Pro. Want to work for Boise State gymnastics? This opportunity might be for you! The team is looking for student managers who will be at practice every day with travel opportunities as well.
