Erupts vs. Rams Gaines tallied 22 rushes for 149 yards and two touchdowns and caught their only target for 12 yards during Saturday's 49-21 win over Colorado State.

Impact Gaines had his biggest day yet in 2025, eclipsing 100 yards for the first time while logging his third multi-touchdown performance. Boise State got to run the ball plenty as it dismantled Colorado State, meaning fellow tailbacks Malik Sherrod and Dylan Riley also got to gobble up yards and touchdowns. The Broncos, working with a backup quarterback for the third straight game, were finally able to lean on their rushing attack and let that carry them to victory. They'll look to continue that in Week 14 against Utah State.

Solid effort against Aztecs Gaines accrued 13 carries for 78 yards during Saturday's 17-7 defeat to San Diego State.

Impact Gaines hasn't reached pay dirt in either of the last two contests, which is a little disappointing, but he did see an uptick in carries Saturday, albeit while logging fewer totes than sophomore back Dylan Riley. Gaines should remain a regular in the Broncos' backfield over the last two regular-season contests, but he's not exactly a workhorse back.

Impact While Gaines would ultimately lead the Broncos in rushing, he was out-carried 11-to-9 by Malik Sherrod, though neither back managed to get much going on the ground in a lopsided defeat. While it appears that Boise State will utilize a backfield committee to start the year, Gaines should be able to find more success next week against Eastern Washington.

Listed as co-starter Gaines is listed as a co-starter for Boise State heading into Week 1 against South Florida.

Impact Gaines shares the top tailback spot on the depth chart with Malik Sherrod. It's going to take an army to replace the outlandish production of former Broncos' tailback Ashton Jeanty, and it appearss Boise may be taking a committee approach early in the season. However, college depth charts are also misleading to the point where Boise may have simply not decided on a full-time starter yet, or doesn't want to reveal who will take the majority of the carries. Either way, expect Gaines and Sherrod to see action against the Bulls.
