Oladipo recorded 70 tackles and 8.5 TFLs, earning him a spot as an All-MW Honorable Mention. Heading into this season, Oladipo was placed on the Paycom Jim Thorpe Preseason Watch List and is a Preseason All-Mountain West Second Team selection on three different outlets.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Something To Prove. The College Sports Communicators announced, in association with the Associated Press and the Fiesta Bowl Organization that Boise State wide receiver Latrell Caples earned a spot on the 2024 Comeback Player of the Year watch list. Caples missed the entire 2023 season due to injury but is poised to return to The Blue in 2024. The redshirt senior led the Broncos in receptions (51) and receiving yards (549) in 2022 and tied for the team-high with four touchdown catches. He collected 260 yards after the catch, also a team-best.

🔼 Triple Threat. Ahead of the Broncos’ first match of the season, Boise State soccer’s Carly Cross, Genevieve Crenshaw and Morgan Padour were named to the 2024 Mountain West Women's Soccer Watch List. The selections come after the team was picked to finish third in the league’s preseason poll.

🗣️ "They've earned it and will no doubt fulfill the preseason predictions. These three and their teammates are primed and ready to write their own story. I simply can't wait to see the work they've put in come to fruition." - Jim Thomas, head coach

Boise State will begin its season on Friday, August 16, against Portland State at the Boas Soccer Complex at 7 p.m.

The junior is one of three non-wide receivers on the 49-player watch list. Jeanty led all NCAA running backs last year in receiving yards (569) and yards after catch (621) while catching five touchdowns and recording a pair of 100-yard receiving games in 2023. He also led the position in missed tackles forced (24) and first downs (23) on receptions.
