08/29/22 - Titus Toler, rSr/2024, Boise State + More +

As he has reacclimated himself to the field during fall camp, the No. 1 objective of Wisconsin's Titus Toler has been simply to get better. "I want to be the best me I can be," he said. That has been the redshirt junior safety's measured approach to UW's preseason. He is one of the comeback stories of this year's team, a promising talent marred by a slow return from injury that included a brief departure from the program. He hasn't played a game in almost two years, but thanks to a great deal of patience and a greater attention to his mental health, the native of Long Beach, California, is back. "It's just a blessing," he said. "Every day I wake up and thank God that I have the opportunity to do this again." As late as the start of 2021 fall camp, there was hope that Toler, who was injured for most of that spring's practices, would be able to return to play.

Behind the scenes, however, his injury was slow to heal. Toler declined to specify the nature of his injury - 'I can't let them know the weakness,' he said with a smile - but noted that he grew frustrated with the pace of his recovery. The injury was his first major one. The situation took a toll on his psyche. "It's frustrating because when you're doing everything you can to get better and you're not getting better it plays with your mental and really challenges your faith sometimes," he said. "But I pulled through and am glad to be here." - Journal Sentinel

08/17/22 - Markel Reed, rSr/2025, Boise State + More +

Boise State cornerback Markel Reed hasn't played football in 10 months, but he's back on the field this fall competing for a starting job. "It feels good be back out there with the guys and playing with my brothers," Reed told reporters on Tuesday. "This summer was a big stride for me. Getting back in August for camp was the goal." It's been a tough couple of years for Reed, a senior from Temple, Texas. A shoulder injury kept him out of spring practice in 2021, but he fought his way back and started four of the Broncos' first five games last season. Then a knee injury put him on the shelf.

Both injuries required surgery, and Reed said two operations in less than a year took a toll on him. "It was definitely hard dealing with mental issues and stuff like that," he said. "You deal with that with injuries, but you just have to push through. I'm glad to be where I am and to be going 100%." Reed was held out of spring practice this year as he rehabbed from the knee surgery. He said his teammates helped him get through the darkest days, especially edge rusher Demitri Washington, who was healthy for a full slate of spring practices for the first time in his career this year. "All my brothers helped me, encouraging me and throwing me the brotherly love I needed," Reed said. - Idaho Statesman

Boise State has been selected to finish atop the Mountain Division, while Fresno State has been chosen to win the West Division title, as announced today by the Mountain West at its annual media days, being held at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas.
