Boise State Broncos News

Maddux Madsen - Completely healthy for spring ball Madsen (undisclosed) is completely healthy from any lingering ailments from the 2025 season, per Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman.

Impact Madsen missed three games for Boise State last season between weeks 12-14, but returned for the Broncos' final two games of the season. He's coming off a solid season in which he tossed for 2,334 yards, 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 58.3 percent of his passes. He also ran for four touchdowns. Any lingering questions about his health have been answered, and he's good to go ahead of his fifth year of college football.

Sire Gaines - Splitting RB1 reps with Riley Gaines will split the RB1 reps at Boise State's spring practice with Dylan Riley, per Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman.

Impact Gaines amassed 883 total yards last season as Boise State's RB2 behind Dylan Riley, who ran for a 1,125 yards as the top ball-carrier for the Broncos. This is a two-headed monster in Boise State's backfield, and both ball-carriers will have a chance to take starting reps this spring. Both halfbacks should be staples of this offense come fall.

Dylan Riley - Slated to split reps in spring Riley will split reps at RB1 with Sire Gaines in Boise State's spring practice period, per Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman.

Impact Riley is coming off an electric season with the Broncos in which he ran for 1,125 yards and 10 touchdowns on 5.8 yards per carry, also reeling in 15 passes for 149 yards and two scores. Common sense would have Riley as the clear lead back for Boise State next season, but the Broncos are fortunate enough to have another extremely talented ball-carrier on the roster in Sire Gaines, who totaled 883 yards last fall as well. Both running backs should be plenty involved in 2026.

Juelz Goff - Lands at Boise State Goff will transfer to Boise State, per Mitch Corcoran of Inside Pitt.

Impact Goff spent two seasons at Pitt, and was a real part of the running back rotation in 2025 with 270 rushing yards and five scores on 69 carries. The tailback, who has three seasons of eligibility remaining, will now join the Boise State backfield, where he'll look to continue to get more involved as his career progresses.

Harry Stewart III - Lands with Boise State Stewart committed to Boise State, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact After spending the last two seasons with Kansas, Stewart has found a new school via the portal in Boise State. He gained 127 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 26 touches last season and will hope to increase those numbers significantly with the Broncos. Boise State has a great history of highly productive backs, so if Stewart can make his way up the depth chart this could be an excellent move for him.

Chris Marshall - Nears 100 yards in defeat Marshall caught 5 of 12 targets for 97 yards during Saturday's 38-10 loss versus Washington.

Impact Marshall saw a season-high 12 targets in the blowout loss to Washington, and nearly managed to parlay that into 100 yard outing. It was a solid bow on what was a career year for the wideout; Marshall reeled in 30 catches for 574 yards and two touchdowns. He has one season of eligibility remaining.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Lauter - Reels in TD in loss Lauter tallied five receptions (on eight targets) for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-10 loss to Washington.

Impact Lauter capped off a solid year with a solid performance, even as the Broncos got rolled by Washington. The tight end's production fell off from last season, when Boise State's offense was greatly inflated by the presence of superstar running back Ashton Jeanty. Still, Lauter caught 37 passes for 330 yards and two scores in 2025, and looks to be out of eligibility moving forward.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Riley - Stymied by Huskies Riley recorded 10 rushes for 34 yards during Saturday's 38-10 defeat against Washington.

Impact Riley was Boise State's leading rusher in the blowout loss to Washington in the LA Bowl, but that's not saying much. Riley still had an excellent year as the lead back for the Broncos, totaling 1,125 rushing yards and 10 scores, along with 15 catches for 149 yards and two receiving touchdowns. Riley has two years of eligibility remaining and looks slated to remain the top tailback in Boise if he abstains from the portal.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sire Gaines - Completely bottled up by Huskies Gaines compiled eight carries for 16 yards and hauled in their only target for five yards during Saturday's 38-10 defeat against Washington.

Impact Gaines had a very solid year for the Broncos, and entered the LA bowl against Washington with 795 rushing yards and eight scores. However, the Huskies completely shut him down, and the entire Boise State ground game in general -- the Broncos' leading rusher was Dylan Riley with 34 yards. Still, with three years of eligibility remaining and coming off a season in which he neared 900 all-purpose yards, Gaines' future is bright.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Max Cutforth - Three picks in relief of Madsen Cutforth was 15-for-27 passing for 202 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday's 38-10 defeat to Washington.

Impact Broncos' starter Maddux Madsen was benched after a rough first half of action against Washington in which he threw two picks, and Cutforth was sent in to replace him. Cutforth didn't fare much better, throwing three interceptions as the Broncos limped to a 28-point loss in the LA Bowl. It was a rocky season for the gunslinger, who has two years of eligibility remaining.
