🔷 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

3 days until kickoff, Bronco Nation!

Boise State football has had three consensus All-Americans since the 1968 season.

🇺🇸 The Broncos’ first-ever consensus All-American selection was offensive lineman Ryan Clady. From 2005-2007, Clady started at both left and right tackle, earning multiple all-conference honors. He was selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft where he became a two-time First Team All-Pro and Super Bowl 50 winner.

🇺🇸 Offensive lineman Nate Potter earned a consensus All-American selection in his final season with the Broncos. After a couple of years in the NFL, Potter pursued coaching and currently serves as the Co-Offensive Coordinator for Boise State.

🇺🇸 Defensive back and all-purpose player Avery Williams rounds out the Broncos’ consensus All-American trio. As a senior, Williams returned a total of four touchdowns (two kickoffs, two punts) to tie the NCAA DI career record with nine return scores.
