  07/22/21 - Avery Williams, rSr/2021, Boise State, 5-08, 187 (DS#23 CB) + More +

  Former Boise State football standout Avery Williams was named the 2020-21 Mountain West Male Athlete of the Year, the league office announced Tuesday.

With Williams' selection as MW Athlete of the Year, Boise State has now claimed seven such awards - among male and female honorees - since joining the conference for the 2011-12 season, more than any other school during that time and nearly double that of second-place New Mexico (four). - Lewiston Tribune

  06/22/21 - Kekaula Kaniho, rSr/2022, Boise State, 5-10, 186 (DS#27 SS) + More +

  Boise State defensive back Kekaula Kaniho is one of 42 student-athletes named to the Watch List for the 2021 Lott IMPACT Trophy. College defensive players are nominated to the Watch List based on the IMPACT on their teams on and off the field. IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity. The 42 honorees represent the number Ronnie Lott wore during his illustrious career. Lott is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Kaniho, who was among 24 finalists for the award in 2020, helped lead Boise State to a bowl game in each of his first three years on campus (the Broncos opted out of a 2020 bowl game). His 32 total tackles and team leading seven passes defended last season earned a 2020 All-Mountain West Second-Team honor, one year after earning a spot on the first team. He elected to return for his super senior season in 2021. - Idaho Statesman

  06/08/21 - Jared Reed, rSr/2022, Boise State, 6-0, 193 (DS#999 CB) + More +

  The Boise State football team added more depth at cornerback Wednesday with the addition of Utah State transfer Jared Reed. Reed announced his commitment to the Broncos in a social media post on Twitter. He played in all six of the Aggies' games last season and started two. He posted seven tackles and a pass breakup in his first carer start against New Mexico and finished the season with 18 tackles and a sack. Reed sat out the 2019 season after transferring from Portland State, where he spent two seasons and appeared in 10 games in 2018. The 6-foot, 190-pound native of Portland, Oregon, joins the Broncos with two years of eligibility remaining. Boise State also added Bowling Green transfer Caleb Biggers in March. The veteran of 19 starts just arrived on campus last week. Biggers and junior Markel Reed are the favorites to start at cornerback this season as the Broncos search for replacements for Avery Williams and Jalen Walker. - Idaho Statesman

  05/14/21 - Kurt Rafdal, rSr/2023, Boise State, 6-6, 234 (DS#72 TE) + More +

  One day after Boise State offensive coordinator Tim Plough mentioned tight end as a position where quality depth was still needed, the Broncos went out and signed a big target from the Big Ten. Tight end Kurt Rafdal announced his commitment Thursday afternoon on Twitter, and Boise State confirmed it shortly thereafter. The 6-foot-7, 245-pound graduate transfer spent the past four seasons at Nebraska, where he took a redshirt year in 2017 and appeared in 26 games at tight end and on special teams between 2018-20.

He wasn't all that active in the Cornhuskers' passing game and will join the Broncos with just six career catches for 77 yards. But his size suggests he could be an asset as a run blocker. Coming out of Carmel High in Indiana, Rafdal was a three-star prospect and the No. 8 overall recruit in the state, according to the 247Sports.com composite ratings. He chose Nebraska over a long list of Power 5 programs, including Auburn, Iowa, Maryland and Indiana. - Idaho Statesman

  05/04/21 - Avery Williams, rSr/2021, Boise State, 5-08, 187 (DS#23 CB) + More +

  Boise State special teams ace Avery Williams is heading to Atlanta. Williams was selected with the pick No. 39 in the fifth round (No. 183 overall) Saturday during the third day of the 2021 NFL Draft. Most experts projected Williams to come off the board in the seventh round, so getting picked in the fifth even caught him a little off guard. "It was unreal to actually realize I was getting the call and to see the Atlanta area code," Williams told the Statesman on Saturday afternoon. "I couldn't be more excited to be part of a high culture organization and to be able to add my energy to it."

This year marks the first time since 2018 that Boise State didn't have a player picked in the first three rounds, but the Broncos have had a player drafted for 12 straight years, dating back to 2010. Williams was the second Boise State player selected this year, following tight end John Bates, who went to Washington in the fourth round. He spent the third day of the draft with a small group of family and friends at the home of local Pastor Mark Thornton, and Williams said he'll head to Atlanta sometime in the next week. - Idaho Statesman

  05/02/21 - John Bates, rSr/2021, Boise State, 6-5, 250 (DS#19 TE) + More +

  Former Boise State tight end John Bates was picked by the Washington football team with the 19th pick in 4th round (No. 124 overall) Saturday in the NFL Draft. Bates is the first tight end from Boise State drafted since the Buffalo Bills selected Derek Schouman in the seventh round in 2007. He's also the highest drafted tight end in program history, surpassing Dave Stachelski, who was picked No. 141 overall by the Patriots in 2000. This year marks the first time since 2018 that Boise State didn't have a player picked in the first three rounds, but the Broncos have had a player drafted for 12 straight years, dating back to 2010. Bates - a 6-foot-6, 250-pound Oregon native - was in Mobile, Alabama, for the Senior Bowl in January, and he earned an invite to the NFL Combine, which was canceled this year because of the ongoing pandemic. - Idaho Statesman

  Cornerback Caleb Biggers is transferring from Bowling Green to Boise State, Bronco head coach Andy Avalos announced, Friday. Biggers played in 26 games over his three years with Falcons (2018-20). He moved into a starting role with four games left in his freshman campaign and started all-19 games he played in over the remainder of his career. He recorded 100 tackles, including 64 solo. In 2019, Biggers tied a Bowling Green school record with a 100-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Central Michigan. - Idaho Statesman

  Pushed back in the pack at a loaded position, Nebraska junior tight end Kurt Rafdal entered the transfer portal Wednesday. His decision comes as the Huskers work through their first week of spring practice. A consensus three-star player in the class of 2017, Rafdal finishes his Nebraska career with six receptions. The 6-foot-7, 245-pound Indiana native played in every game last season, contributing on both offense and special teams. He caught one pass, in the season opener at fifth-ranked Ohio State. In 2019, he played in six games. He made his only reception of the season against Northern Illinois during Nebraska's final touchdown drive. - Lincoln Journal Star

  04/03/21 - Avery Williams, rSr/2021, Boise State, 5-08, 187 (DS#23 CB) + More +

  Former Boise State cornerback Avery Williams could be destined for a position change in the NFL. Williams was one of three Broncos who took full part in the school's pro day Wednesday in Boise State's indoor facility, and he showed what he can do in drills specific to defensive backs, running backs and slot receivers. The two-time Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year, who made highlight reels with his kickoff and punt returns, said several NFL teams have mentioned to him the possibility of becoming a third-down running back. He started every game the past two seasons at defensive back, but he's fine with showing what else he can do. "I want to be the most versatile player in this draft," Williams told reporters on Wednesday. "I can do it all and I'm willing to do it all." - Idaho Statesman
